An Austin mom, Melanie Dudley, was breastfeeding her son when she was asked to “cover up” inside a restaurant. This is how she reacted, according to a friend who posted a picture of her on Facebook. And the image went viral– with over 200,000 shares.

Carol Lockwood said she’s never met her friend’s daughter-in-law, but felt compelled to share a photo she saw of the mother feeding her baby. Lockwood said, “I’m SO over people shaming women for nursing.”
Last year, USA Today notes that another mother also covered her head after a customer at McDonald’s reportedly asked her to “cover up.” Breastfeeding advocacy groups have also shared similar images.

Breastfeeding in public without a cover is legal in all 50 states.
