ST1. I was scrolling on Facebook and saw a video of myself breastfeeding my baby at the beach

 

Apparently, moms are still copping flak for breastfeeding their little ones in public.

Yep, whether they’re at a theme park, on a plane, or at the park, it’s like there’s no winning for moms when it comes to where and how they feed their babies (like we have that much of a say in it…)

And the worst part is, the shaming is often done by OTHER PARENTS.

Oh, but wait, there’s more!

Some people just can’t resist whipping out their phones either, recording you, sans permission, of course, and sharing it on social media for the world to scrutinize.

Isabel Lomax was one of those parents who found herself at the center of such online shaming.

And the way she found out is truly sickening…

“What is wrong with people? Cover up”

New mom Isabel, 24, was scrolling Facebook like she does every morning when she came across a video of herself at the beach, topless and breastfeeding her baby.

The caption on the video said: “I’m not shaming women who breastfeed their babies.

“I’m shaming the woman who breastfed in public with no respect to cover themselves up and just let their boobs hang out (nipple included) for everyone to see! COVER TF UP !!!”

The post continued, “I shouldn’t have to cover my son’s eyes and explain why your boobs are out and quite frankly, I don’t want to see it either. Have some respect!”

In the clip, Isabele appears topless, breastfeeding her baby (an iconic way to make a clap-back video if we do say so ourselves.)

“Imagine waking up, getting on Facebook, and seeing this video of yourself yesterday at the beach,” she began the viral clip which now has over half a million likes.

“Not only did this woman walk past me multiple times with her son, you had every opportunity in the world to say something to me. Not that I would have cared or stopped what I was doing, but you instead choose to post a video of me and my child on Facebook, publicly for the world to see,” she continued.

“What if you were told that the only way you could eat at the beach is if you were covered up by a towel?”

“If you are sexualizing a breast to a four-year-old, you have your own issues”

She then shared that she also fed her baby in restaurants and on the street and no one glared or snuck photos or videos of her, but just let her feed her child in peace.

"Imagine waking up, getting on Facebook, and seeing this video of yourself yesterday at the beach," she began the viral clip which now has over half a million likes.

She concludes, “Next time you see a mom breastfeeding her child in public, covered up or not, tell her how good of a job she’s doing.

“Also, let it be known that her son is literally four years old. If you are sexualizing a breast to a four-year-old, you’ve got your own set of issues.”

“Feed your baby any way you choose”

 

 

 

“YES, GIRL! Feed your baby any way you choose. You are doing AMAZING,” one commenter wrote.

“Beautiful! I teach my boys it’s amazing that moms can do this and they can see it but don’t stare because it’s impolite,” another woman said.

Someone else replied, “I always tell people to put a shirt over their head so they don’t have to see me breastfeed lol or they can go to the bathroom to eat while she eats at the table.”

“I nurse publicly and have for eight months now and this is my worst nightmare. I can’t imagine how you felt, I’m so sorry,” posted a fellow mom.

Then this person pointed out that the beach was a pretty normal place for people to wear little clothing anyway.

Isabel concludes the video by saying "Next time you see a mom breastfeeding her child in public, covered up or not, tell her how good of a job she’s doing."

“She’s at the beach… Most times people go half-naked with thongs or tiny tops. The woman can simply tell her son that babies eat that way or with a bottle…” they said.
