Mother Publicly Shamed on Facebook for Breastfeeding in Public

Written by:  Jamie

Emily Slough was shocked to learn that a photo of her feeding her eight-month-old daughter was posted on the (now deactivated) Spotted Rugeley Facebook page Friday, with the following caption:

“I know the sun is out n all that but there’s no need to let your kid feast on your nipple in town!!! Tramp.”

The Staffordshire mother decided to organize a nurse-in as a response to the image being posted.

The nurse-in will be held in Rugeley on March 15, 2014, at 12:00PM. Slough explained to ITV why she believes this type of “mass feed” is necessary to help normalize breastfeeding in public:

“I was initially going to ignore the post and laugh it off, but then I realised that this is a perfect example of what needs to be erased in modern day society. Why should mothers who are doing the best by their children feel that they should be confined to a toilet or changing room to provide their baby with nutrients? Would you eat in a toilet or with a blanket draped over your face?

I’d like to personally thank whoever took the photograph and allowing those in support of breast feeding mothers whenever and wherever to make a stand and unite against this kind of discrimination.”
