Tamar Shugert wanted to make a statement with this photo and apparently she did since it’s gone viral.
In this photo where she’s photographed in the bathroom nursing juxtaposed next to a man eating spaghetti.
“If you are not willing to eat your lunch in the bathroom, then don’t expect me to feed my kid there,” Shugert wrote in the photo caption.”
In an interview for USA Today Shugert said that although she nursed her two sons in public without any issues, she has friends who have told her they’ve been asked to find a more private place to nurse.
“It’s not so much about the baby,” she said. “The baby really doesn’t care, but I think that women who are going out of their way to give their baby the best nutrition that they possibly can should not have to feel inconvenienced in doing so,” she said.”
The photo was taken in her home bathroom, she said. “She posed for the photo herself holding a teddy bear under a feeding cloth (she doesn’t currently have an infant) and her husband posed for the second photograph. Then, she photo shopped them together.”
Teddy bear or not, the photo definitely makes a statement, it has gotten thousands of likes.
