Dear Fellow Breastfeeding Mother Who Just Doesn’t Understand,

Let’s be real for a moment. Why would a fellow mother who has breastfed feel the need to shame others for how they do it? I mean, seriously, can we just take a breather? Your unsolicited opinion isn’t what strangers are looking for.

I totally get it; as someone who writes online, I understand the temptation to stir the pot for clicks. But when you share your experiences, saying you’ve nursed in swanky restaurants, at the beach, or in various parking lots, it’s great! But then you add, “I always managed to cover my breast while feeding,” and I can’t help but wonder why you think that’s a universal priority for everyone.

You claim to support normalizing breastfeeding and feeding our kids, which is undeniably crucial. But then you contradict yourself by stating, “I don’t want to see your breasts,” as if that’s what it’s about. Oh, come on.

Let’s ditch the notion that every mother should prioritize covering up while nursing. We aren’t living in the ’50s anymore, and women today shouldn’t feel ashamed to feed their babies in public. In fact, those who criticize breastfeeding mothers—especially those who know how challenging it can be—are the ones doing the real disservice.

I don’t want to hear your opinion, and I’m sure many other mothers feel the same way. Sure, you have every right to voice your thoughts, but public breastfeeding is still a battleground for many women. Shaming others for not using a cover isn’t just pointless; it adds to the stigma. Women should be able to breastfeed without fear of being judged or harassed.

You even went so far as to say, “Your breasts are natural, but I don’t see anyone flashing their vaginas.” This kind of commentary is unnecessary and frankly makes me question your intentions. If you’re not contributing positively to the discussion about breastfeeding, maybe it’s best to hold back on the passive-aggressive remarks.

So, congratulations on creating a viral piece that sparked division among women who should be lifting each other up. But don’t be upset with me for calling it out.

Sincerely,
A Fellow Breastfeeding Mother Who Supports Women
