A Mum who posted a picture of herself ‘tandem breastfeeding’ her own child and a stranger’s baby had her Facebook account disabled. Rebecca Wanosik says that the baby looked ‘hungry and exhausted’ – and she offered to feed her as her mother underwent surgery.
Wanosik said, ‘Was there ever a question? The baby’s mother was having surgery and the baby is exclusively breastfed and refused a bottle.’‘’I did what I hope any person would do for my child in a time of despair.’I fed a strangers baby.’
But many Facebook users weren’t happy with the image – with commenters chiming in, ‘Cover up!!!! Nobody wants to see your breast. This is Facebook not sexbook.’Wanosik said, ‘I was so surprised by just how many people thought it was weird, or unnatural. They are boobs, they are meant to feed babies. Also, in case anyone forgot, they are mine, so I’m fairly certain I choose what happens with them.’
