A mom who was breastfeeding her baby at a restaurant was allegedly told to “cover up” inside a restaurant.
But her response after that request is now going viral thanks to a post on Facebook shared by a friend.
Carol Lockwood said she’s never met her friend’s daughter-in-law, but was driven to share the photo she saw of the mom feeding her baby after she said a man in the restaurant asked her to “cover up” while eating outside in “90 degrees and extremely humid” weather.
“I’m SO over people shaming women for nursing!!!” Lockwood said.
According to Yahoo Lifestyle, the woman in the photo is Melanie Dudley of Austin, Texas.
Dudley was nursing her 4-month-old while on vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
Her husband and 4-year-old twins were also along on the vacation.
Breastfeeding in public without a cover is legal in all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
