Baby

Mum's satirical but all too real breastfeeding poem has us in stitches

Whitney Renee Huntwork has a major problem – she is sick and tired of people telling her when she can and can't breastfeed. 

Breastfeeding mothers are consistently shamed for breastfeeding in the public eye, even though they are simply feeding their hungry baby. 

People sometimes complain they feel uncomfortable, but why? 

Nonetheless, Whitney has hit back at shamers in the best way she could; she wrote a poem. 

"Anytime. Anywhere. You can stare, I don't care."

"I'll feed my hungry child, here or there, if you don't like my boob I still don't care."

While it's slightly satirical, the limerick hits home that when a baby needs to be fed, it should be fed, no matter where that may be, or how it may happen.

"Bottle or boob. It's all just food." 

Whitney also criticises people who point, stare, and take pictures while mothers breastfeed, or those that describe the natural process as 'disgusting'. 

"Pull out your phone and take a picture? But I'm the one who's the problem? Don't you wish we could all mind our business? That would sure solve them!"

"Think I am disgusting? I could say the same? Think I am playing an attention seeking game? You are wrong because you see, really I am only worried about the comfort of my baby and me!"

If the poem is not your thing, don't worry because Whitney's 'I don't care' attitude is perfectly depicted in her attached photo anyhow, and we are so in love with this mama's determination. 

It's time to end the stigma for mums.
