Breastfeeding shaming is all the rage. Despite the law being on their side, mums who choose to nurse in public are often met with disapproving looks or worse, verbal criticism.
Mums have frequently been told to cover us, called names ranging from “tramp” to “paedophile” and been sent to feed in the toilets.
Even celebrities have been shamed for breastfeeding. Mila Kunis recently told Vanity Fair that she often finds herself on the receiving end of judgmental looks.
But one breastfeeding mum in the UK has found a unique way to hit back at critics.
According to an anonymous post on the Dartford Gossip Facebook page, a disgruntled woman who asked a breastfeeding mother to go and feed her baby somewhere private was squirted with breastmilk.
“To the lady Dartford park who thought it was appropriate to breastfeed her baby whilst my child and very easily distracted husband sat near by,” she wrote.
“I don’t think it was necessary for you to react the way you did just because I asked you to go somewhere private, telling me to f-off and squirting me with your boobs was incredibly uncalled for.
“I hope you are ashamed of yourself!”
But while the anonymous critic was outraged, comments on the thread were largely in support of the breastfeeding mum.
“You should be ashamed of yourself! It’s hard enough to breast feed a baby let alone be judged for it in public!,” said one commenter.
“If [your] husband is easily distracted id say that’s [your] problem not the lady trying to feed her baby, maybe she shouldn’t of done what she did but why should she have to go somewhere private to feed her child?” asks another.
It might not be the best use of ‘liquid gold’, but it certainly brings a new dimension to the ridiculous debate.
