Mom slammed for openly breastfeeding child at restaurant: ‘Sheesh, cover up'
A mother is facing backlash for breastfeeding her child unconcealed at a restaurant. In a viral video posted to X by the account Liberacrat, an unidentified woman is seen breastfeeding a young child while seated at a restaurant, originally reported on by Newsweek. In the video, the mom is seen sitting at a long table, dining with other people. When her child was hungry, she did what many other women in her situation would do — she fed them. The multitasking mommy is seemingly unfazed by her son guzzling down his mother's milk because she ordered food from the waitress without skipping a beat. The caption of the shared video read: 'This woman's receiving backlash for breastfeeding her (kind of old) child inside a restaurant on Mother's Day, where other patrons were also trying to enjoy their Mother's Day and meals with loved ones.' The person then prompted a debate asking: 'What do you think, did she deserve the backlash?' The right to breastfeed in public is protected by federal laws, including the Fairness for Breastfeeding Mothers Act and the Friendly Airports for Mothers Act. However, that didn't stop people from having mixed reactions to this video. 'This is absolutely natural. She should have a blanket over her baby but honestly, I've seen worse today,' the top comment read. 'Sheesh, cover up. Nothing wrong with breastfeeding your baby, but it's not right to show all that,' someone commented. 'I'm sorry, maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I don't think women should be allowed to breastfeed in public,' another replied. Many others came to the mother's defense. 'If you're upset about a mother breastfeeding her child, then you might have some issues you're going through, talk to someone. This is natural & as long as she's not flaunting herself this is perfectly fine,' someone said. 'Chances are, you won't be at home or in a private, comfortable place every time your baby gets hungry. Instead, you may be in the middle of eating a meal, running an errand, or sitting in the park,' another noted. Many people suggested that the woman cover herself with a blanket while she fed her child, but others correctly noted that covers can become a choking hazard and block the mother from better monitoring her child. Others also questioned if her son was too old to be breastfed. 'That's an adult man nursing,' someone joked. 'Kid is big' another replied. The child's age was not determined, but according to the World Health Organization, up to one-third of children are breastfed through age two. There is no harm in breastfeeding for longer as long as the child receives adequate nutrition, typically provided by complementary foods after the child's first six months. Regardless of the facts, people are sure to continue milking the breastfeeding debate — but some mothers don't care if you're crying over their nursed milk.

Mother Breastfeeding Child in Restaurant Sparks Fierce Debate
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A recent viral social media post of a mother breastfeeding her child has ignited a familiar debate on social media over women breastfeeding in public. The Context In the U.S., the right to breastfeed in public is protected by federal law. Two key federal laws, including the Fairness for Breastfeeding Mothers Act and the Friendly Airports for Mothers Act, support the right to breastfeed. In most states, breastfeeding is excluded from public indecency laws and the majority of states grant women the right to breastfeed in public locations.

Smith Collection/Gado/Getty Images What To Know From the decision to breastfeed itself, to how one may decide to go about breastfeeding, it is a highly personal choice that is the prerogative of the parent. Nevertheless, breastfeeding often sparks debates online. Which is exactly what happened when the account Liberacrat shared a video of a woman breastfeeding her child on Mother's Day, in a video that has been viewed 15 million times as of press time. The post was captioned "This woman's receiving backlash for breastfeeding her (kind of old) child inside a restaurant on Mother's Day, where other patrons were also trying to enjoy their Mother's Day and meals with loved ones. What do you think…?" Inviting others to weigh in, they did, with some people saying that it is inappropriate to breastfeed in public, while others highlighted that it is the mother's choice, and a strange thing to share a public opinion on. One common thread in the response was that women should cover up while breastfeeding. There can be safety concerns about covering, including suffocation hazards and a lack of visual monitoring that can make this both hazardous and impractical.

This is natural & as long as she's not flaunting herself this is perfectly fine. We need more women to breastfeed." WIC Breastfeeding Support on their website: "Chances are you won't be at home or in a private, comfortable place every time your baby gets hungry. Instead, you may be in the middle of eating a meal, running an errand, or sitting in the park. It's not uncommon to feel uncomfortable about the idea of breastfeeding in public. But you have the right—in most states—to feed your baby anytime, anywhere." Chrissy Horton, a TikTok creator, speaking about breastfeeding in a March video: "It [breastfeeding] is a beautiful and natural thing and nothing to be ashamed of... If covering makes you feel more comfortable absolutely do that... But covering is not always practical or good sometimes What's Next Breastfeeding often divides public opinion, and will likely spark similar debates online in the future.
