When 21-year-old mom and army wife posted a photo of her breastfeeding her son to Instagram, she had no idea it would receive this much attention.
Naomi Jael Covert told BuzzFeed that she has posted photos with her now 10-month-old son TJ, before, but this was the first time it went viral. Naomi posted the photo to her Instagram with the caption:
“When you are at a wedding, wear fancy dresses and high heels and your baby gets hungry, well… You give no shits and feed the kid.”
She continued, “Whoever gets mad about this I also fed my son at the church ceremonie IN the church. Here in Germany people don’t get mad about it. It is NORMAL . Nothing rude or bad about it. This is why I have breasts! Cause God gave me boobs for feeding my babies.”
Naomi is from Vilseck, Germany, and her husband is in the U.S. army and is currently deployed for nine months.
Naomi said she is aware that tons of moms are scared to feed their babies in public, especially at big events like weddings.
“I wanted to show that it’s literally no big deal to breastfeed, no matter the circumstances,” she told BuzzFeed.
She also said that the wedding guests were happy for TJ to be fed. “It’s just normal – you have conversations with people while feeding the child.” Guests even helped Naomi unhook her dress. “It is nothing sexual,” she said. “It’s just another person eating.”
Some Instagram users had negative things to say about Naomi’s photo, like “hide under a rock,” and “throw a blanket on.” But Naomi responds saying that her son TJ would have ripped it off in no time.
