We, as a society, are no strangers to controversy. Methods that work for a few may not work for others. However, almost everyone has an opinion on the “correct way” to do things. One such topic that has sparked a range of opinions is breastfeeding, specifically in public, and one woman shared a photo that got a lot of mixed feedback.
Breastfeeding Goes Viral
Breastfeeding can be an integral part of ensuring a baby is well nourished. Moreover, there are countless benefits that babies can get from breastfeeding including developing a strong emotional bond with their mom and other health benefits like a healthy immune system. However, for a multitude of reasons, breastfeeding in public makes some people feel uncomfortable and, oddly, even enraged. Trinati, who has more than 7,000 followers on Instagram, posted a picture of herself in 2017, in which she was breastfeeding her daughter inside a Costco. She shared that she makes a point of feeding her 17-month-old no matter where they are, “never shying away from providing” for her kids. As a result, she often finds herself breastfeeding in public.
She asked her son to take the picture because “I never want to forget (show my daughter in the future) the lengths we, as mothers, will go to when ensuring our kids are well looked after no matter the situation,” Trinati explained.
