Every breastfeeding mother has heard horror stories about being in shamed in public for trying to feed their babies, which is why one New Zealand mom was nervous when her baby started crying and needed to be fed.
Everything was going smoothly for Briar Lusia McQueen when she went out to breakfast for the first time on her own with her 8-week-old infant, however, she couldn’t help feeling intimidated by other customers and staff when her baby started crying to be fed.
“Today was the first time I went out for breakfast alone with my 8-week-old son, I had just received my breakfast and hot chocolate when Jaxon started crying wanting his booby so of course I fed him,” the new mom wrote in a post to Facebook, which has since gone viral.
After a few minutes, however, an elderly woman approached her table as she fed her baby. “I was scared, thinking she was gonna tell me to put my boob away,” Mcqueen wrote. “Instead she starts cutting up my breakfast for me and said ‘what a good mama you are, we can’t have your food getting cold can we.’ I honestly could have cried.”
