In 2018, Melanie Dudley, a Texas native and new mom, faced criticism when breastfeeding her three-month-old son at a restaurant.
A man at a nearby table asked her to cover up, to which Melanie responded with a twist that garnered laughter from onlookers.
Amid 86-degree heat, Melanie began breastfeeding her baby discreetly, but the man’s discomfort led her to respond uniquely.
She covered her own head with the nursing cover, leaving the restaurant amused.
Melanie’s creative approach emphasizes the importance of respecting women’s choices and the natural act of breastfeeding.
