Society Scares Mothers

Smith also pointed out that “there are more and more nursing mothers every day, but do we see them nursing in public?” Smith believes she has figured out the reason why. “Society has scared these mothers to be afraid to nurse in public,” she said.

“Will they be the next woman to be asked to stop or leave? Will she get confronted by a stranger who disapproves of how or where she is feeding her child? Nursing mothers are often seen as self-righteous as we band together.” That’s why Kinney’s gesture meant so much to the mother-of-three, she felt like someone was finally acknowledging that it was perfectly fine to feed your baby, even out in the public!
