When a young mother shared a candid photo of herself breastfeeding her baby in the middle of a Costco store, she never expected it to go viral. But within hours of posting the image on social media, she found herself at the center of a heated debate — one that sparked both outrage and support across the internet.
Critics were quick to comment, calling her “inappropriate” and accusing her of seeking attention. Some even went as far as to say she should’ve “gone to the car” or “used a private room.” But for every negative voice, there were dozens of others applauding her for embracing motherhood unapologetically.
After staying quiet for a few days, she finally broke her silence — and her response has shocked everyone.
“I breastfed my baby because she was hungry,” she began in her now-viral comment. “Not for attention. Not for likes. Just because that’s what mothers do.”
Then, she went even further — posting a follow-up picture of herself breastfeeding again, this time in the middle of a busy café with the caption:
“Still feeding. Still not sorry.”
The internet exploded.
Supporters rushed to her side, praising her bravery and calling her a role model for mothers everywhere. One commenter wrote, “This is what empowerment looks like. Thank you for standing tall.” Another added, “You just gave so many women the courage to feed their babies without shame.”
Her bold comeback has since been shared thousands of times, igniting a larger conversation about public breastfeeding and the stigma still surrounding it.
Love it or hate it — one thing is certain: she’s not backing down.
