Mom shaming is now is now a “thing” and a lot of it gets directed to breastfeeding moms who are feeding their children in public spaces. There are a few advocates who fight for the right for mothers to feed their child in public, rather than throwing up their arms in disgust. Here is a heart warming story of a restaurant fighting back and supporting moms who want to breast feed openly.

Key Takeaways:

• Mothers face a lot of pressure related to breastfeeding. Some is from doctors and health organizations.
• There is also a highly negative view of breastfeeding, especially toward breast feeding older babies.
• This restaurant made the mother feel welcome, and not only allowed her to breastfeed at their table but also left her a note commending her and giving her 10% off.

“It’s hard to overemphasize how powerful it can be, as a breastfeeding parent, to not only not be judged but to be outright congratulated for public nursing.”
