Emily Slough, a 27 year old mother, recently had her picture taken when she stopped in a descreet place in Rugely,
England to breastfeed her eight month old baby. The photo taker posted it on Facebook and labeled her a tramp for
letting her baby “feast on her nipple in town”.
According to the article at Mail Online, she was so horrified at someone taking her picture defaming her character,
she has organized a breastfeeding protest.
While being scorned for breastfeeding her baby in public, she says she knows what is best for her baby. She
explained that breastfeeding moms are just tending to feeding their baby. Breastfed babies get fed on demand and
need to be fed when hungry. She also said ‘Where I was sitting was pretty private – it was quite out of the way. you
had to look pretty hard to notice – it was pretty discreet.’
Her peaceful protest has elicited the support of over 1200 women.
