Breastfeeding moms are unfortunately used to strangers making rude comments, shaming them, and even asking them to find a private place to nurse, however, one nursing mom was stunned when a fellow mom harrassed her for breastfeeding in public.
One Dartford, England mom had been sitting in the park earlier this week with her baby, and didn’t think twice about breastfeeding her child who started getting hungry in the park, which in England is perfectly legal thanks to new laws that say breastfeeding moms can’t be discriminated against in public by being asked to leave cafes, shops or public transport.
Yet when a fellow mom, who was visiting the park with her child and ‘very easily distracted husband’, saw the woman breastfeeding her baby, she was disgusted and asked the stranger to go somewhere private to nurse.
The breastfeeding mom was understandably furious that another mom would say that to her, and rather than get in an argument, she simply squirted the woman in the face with her breastmilk.
“To the lady in Dartford park who thought it was appropriate to breastfeed her baby whist my child and very easily distracted husband sat nearby,” the woman wrote in a local Facebook gossip page. “I don’t think it was necessary for you to react the way you did just because I asked you to go somewhere private, telling me to f*** off and squirting me with your boobs was incredibly uncalled for. I hope you are ashamed of yourself!”
The woman expected everyone to take her side, but commenters were quick to criticize the woman for harassing a nursing mom. “I hope you’re ashamed of yourself,” one commenter wrote. “Her reaction may not have been the right way to deal with your ignorance, but she has every right to feed her child there, if it offended you that much why didn’t you move?”
