Breastfeeding has long been a topic of debate, especially when done in public. While it provides vital nourishment and emotional bonding for babies, it can make others uncomfortable. One woman, Trinati, sparked mixed reactions after posting a photo of herself breastfeeding her daughter at Costco on Instagram. With over 7,000 followers, she frequently breastfeeds in public and wanted to capture a memory for her daughter, showing the lengths mothers go to care for their children.

Trinati shared that although she receives strange looks and comments, even from loved ones, she remains undeterred. She plans to continue breastfeeding for as long as her daughter needs, despite jokes that she’ll continue until Kindergarten. Trinati also addresses the criticism, stating that breastfeeding is not sexual, and her breasts are far from being objects of desire. Instead, they serve to nourish her child.

She emphasized the importance of normalizing breastfeeding in public, explaining that her child’s needs come first. Many other moms have also shared their own breastfeeding experiences in solidarity. The CDC highlights that breastfeeding has numerous benefits for both mother and child, including reducing the risk of certain diseases. Even celebrity moms like Chrissy Teigen and Ronda Rousey have shown support for public breastfeeding.
