A woman in a shopping mall caused a real scene because I was trying to breastfeed my child, but soon something happened after which she deeply regretted her behavio<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This happened quite recently, in a shopping mall. I was sitting on a bench when my baby started to fuss \u2014 that cry you can never confuse with anything else. I immediately understood: she was hungry. Calmly, I draped a blanket over myself, positioned myself so that nothing could be seen, and began to feed her. Everything was as discreet as possible \u2014 quiet, calm, unnoticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next to me sat a woman with a child. An ordinary woman. A mother. Someone who, it seemed, had once breastfed her own child too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And suddenly \u2014 a shout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Hey! What are you doing?! Go to the bathroom! There are people here, have you no shame?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, I didn\u2019t even realize she was speaking to me. Because of her shouting, my baby, who had just started to calm down, burst into tears again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Please, lower your voice\u2026 I\u2019m just feeding my baby. You can\u2019t see anything, \u2014 I said calmly. \u2014 How am I supposed to feed her in a bathroom?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the woman wouldn\u2019t stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Go to the bathroom! I don\u2019t want my daughter to see this disgusting thing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 What disgusting thing? \u2014 I could no longer hide my confusion. \u2014 I\u2019m not undressing, I\u2019m just feeding my child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 I raised a daughter too! \u2014 she raised her voice. \u2014 But I never undressed wherever I wanted! This is a public place! Get out of here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People began to turn around. The baby cried louder and louder \u2014 not from hunger, but from her shouting. My hands were shaking. The bag was heavy, the baby in my arms, and there was a lump in my throat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had to stand up and leave. I walked, trying at the same time to hold my baby, my bag, and keep myself from crying. My baby kept eating, sobbing between swallows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four young men approached me. They had been watching everything that happened. They didn\u2019t say anything \u2014 they just stood next to me. Then they turned their backs to me, formed a circle around us, and one of them took my bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 You can feed your baby calmly, \u2014 one of them said. \u2014 We\u2019ll stand here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Yes, \u2014 another added. \u2014 We won\u2019t look. A child shouldn\u2019t go hungry because of rude people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I couldn\u2019t say anything right away. I just stood there, feeling my chin tremble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The woman fell silent. She looked at us, at those men, at me \u2014 and for the first time there was no arrogance in her eyes, only confusion. She realized that her shouting was not a \u201cdefense of morality,\u201d but simple cruelty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My baby calmed down. And for the first time during all of this, I felt not shame, but support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A woman in a shopping mall caused a real scene because I was trying to breastfeed my child, but soon something happened after \n [...]<\/a>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3093","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifevery.biz.ua\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3093","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifevery.biz.ua\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifevery.biz.ua\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifevery.biz.ua\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifevery.biz.ua\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3093"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lifevery.biz.ua\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3093\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3094,"href":"https:\/\/lifevery.biz.ua\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3093\/revisions\/3094"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifevery.biz.ua\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifevery.biz.ua\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifevery.biz.ua\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
