The mom explained to her mother that her baby doesn’t like having anything covering her head and face when she’s trying to eat, but that reasoning wasn’t enough for Grandma to back off. “I told her my daughter gets sweaty and uncomfortable under the blanket and if it was that much of an issue that I wasn’t going to do that to her, we would leave, and she said fine, leave,” she wrote. “So I started to get my kids ready to go and she said, ‘You’re really going to leave because you’re in MY house and I want you to cover up? I don’t care how you nurse in your own home, but at my house you need to cover up. No one wants to see that.’”

Instead of letting her mother get away with shaming her in front of her other children for breastfeeding her newborn, this woman stood her ground. “I told her yes and she made me look like the bad guy to my older two children by telling them I was leaving because I was mad at her and she was sorry they couldn’t stay to watch the end of the movie she just put on for them,” she wrote.
After Grandma involved the kids, Mom snapped a photo to capture what it looked like while she fed her daughter that was causing her mom such distress. She decided to share the snapshot as well as her story as proof that even moms who have no visible skin exposed still get harassed for breastfeeding and that there are haters everywhere — even potentially in your family’s home.
For those who think it’s Grandma’s house and so Mom was in the wrong for trying to go against her feelings, Heather from Breastfeeding Mama Talk fiercely came to the mama’s defense in the comments:
“Her mother used her stepfather, who didn’t care, as an excuse, mama made her choice, and bc granny didn’t like the choice and didn’t get her way, she shamed her in front of her children — who, by the way, knew their baby sibling got hot under a cover.
“So yes. It is grandma’s house. No one is refuting that. But ultimately, she chose what was best for her baby, making the only choice she could in the moment. Granny can either accept that and get on with life, or learn to support her daughter since she’s the only one who made a scene here.”
