Rugile BoredPanda staff
When it comes to breastfeeding in public it seems that everyone has their own opinion, especially those who will never have to breastfeed. Well, some mom’s out there are standing up for their right to feed their children wherever they please and they don’t care if you want them to ‘cover up.’
Recently, Carol Lockwood took to Facebook to share a hilarious photo of her friend’s daughter-in-law and her genius response to a man who asked her to ‘cover up’ while breastfeeding. Everyone quickly fell in love with the photo and in a few days, it reached over 209k shares. It’s safe to say, her message about breastfeeding has resonated with lots of people!
Scroll down to see the photo yourself, and don’t forget to tell us what you think in the comments!
Recently, one woman took to social media to share an important message in a hilarious way
This is the response the woman gave the man after he asked her to cover up
Clearly, many people agreed with the message
But of course not everyone was happy with the post, asking them to be more discrete
As it turns out, almost a year ago, a similar situation happened to Nicolle
It’s clear that these women aren’t going to stop voicing their support of public breastfeeding any time soon

What do you think ?
Internet tells me 90 degrees F is 32.22222222222222 degrees C, add humidity... the baby needs air. She did the right thing.
I just cant fathom the people who are against feeding hungry babies in public - would a mother be expected to hide just to give a child a bottle??
Moreover, if a woman doesn't empty her milk filled breasts, it can lead to health related complications for her.
Should a mom be expected to tell her baby "sorry sweetheart but you just going to have to stay hungry and scream your head off for another hour til we get home"?
Just a thought - do people think it is disgusting to see a mother dog feeding her puppies - or a little calf suckling from it's mom and want them to cover up???
Although ... I dint t else is right to whip out a huge boob at a resaurant when everyone is eating
wouldnt bother me in the slightest - but obviously bothers lot of people
You know you don't have to look if that bothers you.
I suspect to women who complain about breastfeeding are antivaxxers - breast milk transfers immunity from diseases from mother to child

In this case, yeah, it was hot, however, I've always thought most of these women act very childishly when they cover up their head. I mean, it's obvious what people ask them to do. They should handle the situation in a mature way, either shutting down the offender or finding a solution that both parties find satisfactory. Anyway, my other point is I've always found women breastfeeding in public weird, simply because I would've never done anything like that if I was one. I just have a proper amount of timidness and self-respect. Also, even the youngest babies need to be fed every 2-4 hours or so. Plus, they get tired quickly and need lots of sleep too. Well, then, why on Earth do so many women find themselves in such situations? 3 hours are absolutely enough to go to the supermarket, restaurant or any place of sorts and then go home with the baby, put it to sleep, feed it, etc. Why would you drag around such a young baby for so long and eventually end up feeding him in a public place?
Zori the degu, you are very "forwardthinking", you know? To find the solution that both parties find satisfactory? The two parties involved are the mother and her baby, not some random guy that has a problem with his own head, or is just an entitled asshole that wants to order people around as it suits him.
There's nothing weird or indecent about a woman breastfeeding her child in public. Breasts are not inherently sexual, they are for feeding babies. If you have an issue with that, it's your own problem you need to unpack. Get a grip and stop judging mothers for not staying locked up in their home, because other people would find it convenient.
for gods sake - women - maybe single women with children need to be able to leave the house for a couple of hours
how can you just "go home with the baby" if your an hour from home - dont drive , stuck with a hungry baby
why all the downvotes for stating facts?
mothers "acting childishly" feeding their babies"??
Zori- Sorry - you really have a misunderstanding of mothers
sod whether it was hot or not - kids need to be fed on demand --- "satisfactory"? "self respect2 - its their child --- how can you say a woman naturally breastfeeding her baby has no proper ammount of self-respect - sorry - if upi have such a young baby you kind of have to take it with you - and feed it
if your 3 month old baby is screaming and hungry after an hour ???
Zori - you have a problemb
I guess you have a car
Seriously let women do what they need to do. You want an horrible crying baby next to your table or an heathly baby quietly against her mother ? And we don't even see her nipple... Are we criticizing men when they take off the shirt ??? And some men have definitely a bigger pair of breast than mind !
My son will rip a blanket off right now. He hates being covered in the least bit. I try to be as discrete as possible but he's not having any of it lol! People need to grow up and realize women have breast and they're for feeding babies. Why is it normal for men to show off their nips? I've seen men with bigger boobs than most women.
Seriously! I understand if I women freakin FLASHES her chesticles in public but breastfeeding? It’s a part of life and people need to get over themselves.
