When will society finally move past shaming mothers who breastfeed in public? It’s astonishing that even today, some individuals feel entitled to ask mothers to cover up while feeding their children, prioritizing their comfort over a natural act. More troubling than the act itself is the alarming frequency with which breastfeeding mothers face stigma regarding their choice of feeding.

Recently, the Facebook page Breastfeeding Mama Talk shared the story of a mother who was asked to leave a dance studio where she was observing her friend’s daughter perform, unless she used a cover to breastfeed her baby. “Here I am, sitting in my truck and crying while I feed my three-month-old,” she recounted. “Why am I in my truck instead of enjoying the air conditioning while watching my friends’ children dance? It’s because I dared to feed my baby without a cover.”

Apparently, several mothers at the studio complained about her breastfeeding, leading to her ejection from the studio due to concerns about the children asking questions. When did curiosity become something to stifle? Instead of fostering an open dialogue about breastfeeding, the mother was shamed into leaving.

“I’m very discreet when I feed. If you see anything, you’re looking too closely. I am so upset. I feel isolated. I feel alone,” she expressed. This experience highlights the very reason why Breastfeeding Mama Talk was created—to give voice to mothers and let them know they are not alone. “I share these stories to show them that there are moms, dads, and supporters from around the world who stand with them,” she explained.

What’s even more concerning is the setting—a dance studio filled with young girls. “What message are we sending to future generations of mothers? It’s disheartening that a place claiming to empower young girls would treat the beautiful act of breastfeeding as something shameful,” she stated. “I’m feeding my baby, and that’s something all women should celebrate!”

This determined mom plans to educate the studio’s owner about Louisiana state laws regarding breastfeeding to prevent future incidents. In her own words, “I plan on having a conversation with the owner, armed with the laws to back me up.”
