“People Can Be Judgmental”

At Fang’s Pizza, Smith, her husband, and her two other boys had already started eating their Chinese food pizza. However, her youngest remained hungry and crying at the table. So, Smith had no other choice but to cover herself and began breastfeeding her baby boy in the restaurant while she ate.

“I usually don’t like to breastfeed in public because people can be judgmental,” Smith recalled. “I tried occupying him with various toys, but he wasn’t relaxing. So I decided to nurse him. I grabbed a cover from my diaper bag, threw it on, and started nursing him in the booth.”
