The issue of breastfeeding in public has been a topic of discussion for a long time, and a young mother decided to make a strong case for it.
Despite facing judgment and uncomfortable situations, she openly breastfeeds her 17-month-old daughter in public. To challenge societal norms and advocate for breastfeeding, she even had a photo taken while breastfeeding in Costco.
The mother, Trinati, expressed her frustration with people making fun of her parenting choices and criticized her for extended breastfeeding. She emphasized that breastfeeding is solely for nourishing and comforting a baby and is not a sexual act. Trinati highlighted the endurance and challenges that mothers face while breastfeeding, dispelling misconceptions about the practice.
In a talk about the act, she said, “I never shy away from providing my children with what they may need from me based on our surroundings.”
In her Instagram post, Trinati stated that her baby’s needs come before anyone else’s attempts to make her feel inappropriate for breastfeeding in public. She asserted that breastfeeding builds trust and healthy relationships with children, and she will never feel shame for allowing her baby to breastfeed in any environment.
The post sparks discussion on both sides of the argument regarding breastfeeding in public, prompting readers to share their opinions and experiences.
