Dad’s viral video shames those who shame breastfeeding
One thing every breastfeeding mom needs is an amazing breastfeeding support partner. Brock Smith is exactly that for his wife. The dad’s viral video was posted to Breastfeeding Mama Talk’s Facebook page last week.
“As a dad and a husband…I’ve had enough of this asinine argument. D Lauren Smith and I are starting a movement…Just sayin,” he says. “For people to be ignorant enough to harass a mother trying to have a normal life while breastfeeding a child just infuriates us.”

It’s just simply not okay!!!” Read more here.

Every mom needs her circle of mom friends and, if you’re breastfeeding, you need your fellow breastfeeding moms in your speed dial–or in this case, speed text. And when you are a mom, you don’t necessarily get out enough to see and spend time with friends face-to-face. This mom outlines the basic text conversations that get sent back and forth between breastfeeding mom friends on a regular basis.
