This Man Told A Breastfeeding Mother To Cover Up And She Took His Request Literally
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? Don’t forget to tell us in the comments!

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??

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.

That last one got me annoyed. Instead of telling a mother what to do with her baby and body (especially if she was not directly physically touching you/speaking to you/in your space), tell your husband to look away.
exactly - if you dont want to see humanity - look away
Load More Replies... That is perfect - cant understand why nursing is so reviled. It is only since the invention of formula which gave women the option - y either paid a wet nurse to look after their baby - stayed at home for a year with the child or when neccessity was a factor took it into the fields and fed it as needed. How have breasts been sexualised to the point when it is regarded as obscene or offensive to use for the purpose they were intended for. Thee same people probably wouldnt bat an eyelid at a "tasteful" nude portrait (quick - hide the Reubens and the Titian) or wouldnt make a fuss over an accidental nip-slip in a tabloid newspaper - --- rant over
its like boobs/breasts can be on display everywhere - but its offensive to be seen feeding a child

i bet this dude is happy to see half naked women in public in ads and media, and probably watches porn. the baby's head is obscures the view of the nipple most of the time and anyone who sees this as a sexual act or anything other than a baby getting fed is a sicko. And babies need air when they're breathing so don't cover them. also, JUST DON'T LOOK.
Tbh I hate looking at nipples of any gender, but if their baby is hungry, they're hungry, and there's no point in censoring the baby's dinner time. #FreeTheNip
People who object need to seriously F off and get a life. A lot of people wouldn't have survived a healthy infancy without the mothers breast feeding. Women have been doing so for ages and it needs to be respected. I never understand the hypocrisy in America and this war on women; this is war to control the narrative of how women should be perceived.
I really say, if you had never been overseas, shut up! In many countries breast feeding is more open and no covering and no one is saying anything. WHY do we have to have a different view? By goodness - we truly are lost sometimes.
I have unwanted seen a felt million d***s, men pulled out to pee in public. When there were enough options to use a toilet or hide some more. Im no mother or have the desire to be, but id rather see boobies feeding babies all around me than d***s.
These people telling a nursing mother to cover up (doing what is the most natural thing ever, feeding her baby) are the same moaning minnies complaining they can't breathe wearing a thin face mask HAHA! Irony, much? Seriously though, some of you troughers need to cover up when you shovel your food into your gaping maws in public.
I really don't get the big fuss. Whatever happened to live and let live? I agree with public breastfeeding. But that shouldn't matter!!
This is amazing, but not necessarily breaking news. I've seen stuff like this happen all the time. Still and all, good on her.
These are the same men that wouldn't hesitate to harass a woman who had her breasts bared in any other scenario, or wouldn't hesitate to assault a woman because they feel that it's their "right" and think they own every woman's body. These are the same men that want women to cover up when giving necessary nutrition, but would cat call and tell a woman to "take it off" otherwise. These are the same men that don't hesitate to hide in dark corners and prey on women and girls. Men...just shut up and keep walking. More and more women are sick of being expected to be nice and listen to a man just because he's a man. We understand men rule the world and always have, but times are changing, and we are all sick of your c**p.
This isone of those issues, where those having issues, actually have a lot more issues besides that issue. Also, issues.
Darn. I was hoping they covered up the one telling them to cover up.
Thankfully for these type of idiotic people, I never had to encounter such a scenario while breastfeeding 🤱 They most certainly wouldn’t have liked my response to the situation lol We need an app for that! Since this seems to be such an ongoing issue, every time a breastfeeding mom is confronted about doing so, she just hits a button, and any other breastfeeding moms nearby can casually come and join her, without having to say a word, and see how the opposing party likes that and how long they will be willing to voice their ignorant opinion to more than 1 mom, on more than 1 occasions! Surly a way to shut them up, by means of which they will not like! 🤣🤣 BOOBS- Breastfeeding Outside Opposition Backup Support 🤣🤣 I think I’m on to something…. 💡
Imagine not having better things to do than going around instructing women to cover up their boobs.
People who tell them to cover up really don’t know much do they? Women who don’t empty out the milk from their breasts can get health problems, and it can be bad for the baby too, I for one, didn’t get enough milk as a baby and my mother had to get me the formula (was it because I was a premature baby?) so imagine a very hungry baby who needs food like right then and there and someone tells them basically “nope, if you’re going to breastfeed you have to cover up and overheat the child because it’s 90 degrees outside” I for one don’t think these women were wrong, I feel they did the right thing caring for the child before people’s opinions.
I'm not against public breastfeeding. However, a little discretion goes a long way.
Especially when it's not a public place, but a restaurant, which is privately owned, with a dress code and rules you must follow if you want to eat there. Somehow all women in my family managed to schedule stuff around the feedings and when they had to do it in public, they were discreet, because honestly it's an intimate thing between the mother and baby. In Europe you only see gypsies and white trash super-moms feeding their babies like this, it's so distasteful and tacky to purposefully do it, which they do, even if they deny it (sometimes even 7 years old children, that's even more f****d up) A little planning and discretion goes a long way.

My only issue with breastfeeding in public is that I've always seen it as an intimate, private moment between mother and child. But I'd rather not see a child starve because of that x)
Girl power, ya.... But these are restaurants and some people just don't want to see that, I understand it's a baby and natural and beautiful seriously no need to respond to this comment with that... It's also natural to blow your nose, scratch itches in strange places, check to see if your deodorant is working, all totally legal to do in public.... Most people excuse themselves and do it somewhere privately though, not take snapshots and post it all over the internet. No one wants to see a pic of me scratching my butt in a restaurant do they?
Comparing breastfeeding with scratching butt. Humanity is going so far...

The eternal s**t about covering up or not covering up...For me it's easy, if there are tits involved, keep them to the close family...not talking about babies and stuff. Why if there's no baby involved, tits in the open cause an outrage? Wtf is so difficult to grasp? No one is against feeding babies, but everybody is against flip-flopping tits all over.
I don't have a problem with breastfeeding as long as it's done discreetly. I find it very disturbing and rude when a woman just takes their boobs out. Some women do it more for exhibitionism than for feeding the baby.
No, they don't. And if you find it rude and disturbing, you ahould find a way to deal with your own hangups. Find out why you feel that way about breasts
