 A new mum took to Reddit to share how her aunt told her to stop 'flashing' and that she has no shame when breastfeeding in public. The upset mum, who has an 11-month daughter as well as a son, said that she always exclusively breastfed and felt the comments were unfair given that she'd had a rough journey with breastfeeding so far. 'I'm very proud, considering with my son I was only able to breastfeed for about three months because of lack of supply and poor latching.' But while out and about at a family picnic her aunt who was visiting wasted no time in giving her personal views on breastfeeding. 'My baby's dad brought my daughter over saying she wants to nurse. I unclipped my right side of my nursing tank (the side away from my aunt) and my daughter latched on.' 'My aunt asked if I wanted something to cover up and I said no thank you.' The mum was made to feel uncomfortable at the family gathering (Photo: Getty) The peeved mum initially thought there was no problem as she was just feeding and not much of her breast was exposed. But her aunt did not feel the same. 'She made a joke about me having no shame which I laughed off, then told me even though I'm comfortable feeding her without a cover maybe she or the rest of my family isn't.' She noted her daughter didn't like using a cover and added, 'I told her I was more interested in me and my daughter being comfortable for the 10 minutes she would eat and if it bothered her she was welcome to move.' 'She then scoffed at me but didn't move, making a weird look at me then going into her phone and halting our conversation.' 'I heard her complaining to my cousins shortly after and they told me I shouldn't feel so comfortable 'flashing' my family.' She notes that while she has no shame breastfeeding in public she swore at her aunt and told her where to go. She then asked others if they think she handled it in the best way?
