The level of harassment directed at women attempting to breastfeed in public is astonishing. In a recent video, prankster and content creator Joey Salads shifts his focus from his usual antics to a pressing social issue: the treatment of mothers breastfeeding in public spaces. It’s surprising that, in this day and age, this remains such a contentious topic.
In his new video, titled “Breastfeeding in Public (Social Experiment),” Salads accompanies a nursing mother to various public venues to capture people’s reactions. The responses he documents are almost shocking. One particularly disheartening comment came from another mother who suggested, “You know, there are private places where you can actually do this; you don’t need to be doing that in public.” For those who haven’t faced negativity while breastfeeding, it’s easy to forget that this is still a significant issue. But as this video reveals and the comments unfold, it becomes clear that we still have a long journey ahead to normalize breastfeeding.
With nearly 13 million views in just over a day, the video underscores the harsh reality of public attitudes toward breastfeeding. Moms, keep doing what you’re doing; your child needs to eat, and feeding them when they’re hungry is the most natural act. Period.
