A mother who was breastfeeding her baby at a fast-food restaurant in the US has gotten a pleasant surprise after she attracted the attention of a young woman.
The nursing mum posted a photo to the Peaceful Parenting Facebook page, sharing her story of how a young girl from a nearby college dropped a $15 gift card on her table, smiled, and walked away.
On it, the girl had written a message that said: “Thank you for breastfeeding in public – helping reduce the stigma for future mums like me. You rock!”
The post garnered hundreds of comments in praise of the girl.
One wrote: “This is a HUGE deal. So many people (myself at times) are so caught up in their world that they cannot see literally and figuratively the struggles of others. OR they have to have the experience themselves to feel that empathy. Her words alone are precious gifts.”
