When it comes to breastfeeding in public it seems that everyone has their own opinion, especially those who will never have to breastfeed. Well, some mom’s out there are standing up for their right to feed their children wherever they please and they don’t care if you want them to ‘cover up.’

Recently, Carol Lockwood took to Facebook to share a hilarious photo of her friend’s daughter-in-law and her genius response to a man who asked her to ‘cover up’ while breastfeeding. Everyone quickly fell in love with the photo and in a few days, it reached over 209k shares. It’s safe to say, her message about breastfeeding has resonated with lots of people!

Scroll down to see the photo yourself, and don’t forget to tell us what you think in the comments!

    Internet tells me 90 degrees F is 32.22222222222222 degrees C, add humidity... the baby needs air. She did the right thing.

    I just cant fathom the people who are against feeding hungry babies in public - would a mother be expected to hide just to give a child a bottle??

    My son will rip a blanket off right now. He hates being covered in the least bit. I try to be as discrete as possible but he's not having any of it lol! People need to grow up and realize women have breast and they're for feeding babies. Why is it normal for men to show off their nips? I've seen men with bigger boobs than most women.

    That last one got me annoyed. Instead of telling a mother what to do with her baby and body (especially if she was not directly physically touching you/speaking to you/in your space), tell your husband to look away.

    That is perfect - cant understand why nursing is so reviled. It is only since the invention of formula which gave women the option - y either paid a wet nurse to look after their baby - stayed at home for a year with the child or when neccessity was a factor took it into the fields and fed it as needed. How have breasts been sexualised to the point when it is regarded as obscene or offensive to use for the purpose they were intended for. Thee same people probably wouldnt bat an eyelid at a "tasteful" nude portrait (quick - hide the Reubens and the Titian) or wouldnt make a fuss over an accidental nip-slip in a tabloid newspaper - --- rant over

    i bet this dude is happy to see half naked women in public in ads and media, and probably watches porn. the baby's head is obscures the view of the nipple most of the time and anyone who sees this as a sexual act or anything other than a baby getting fed is a sicko. And babies need air when they're breathing so don't cover them. also, JUST DON'T LOOK.

    These people would go insane in Ontario and Alberta Canada. It's legal for women to walk around topless exactly because women's breast are not sexual toys just like mens.

    Tbh I hate looking at nipples of any gender, but if their baby is hungry, they're hungry, and there's no point in censoring the baby's dinner time. #FreeTheNip

    People who object need to seriously F off and get a life. A lot of people wouldn't have survived a healthy infancy without the mothers breast feeding. Women have been doing so for ages and it needs to be respected. I never understand the hypocrisy in America and this war on women; this is war to control the narrative of how women should be perceived.

    Carl Allen’s comment made no sense as it was a MAN who told her to cover up.
