In May 2017, Australian Green Party Senator Larissa Waters returned to the chamber with her baby daughter Alia Joy, who was more than two months old, after taking maternity leave. While breastfeeding her daughter, she stood up to speak. Larissa, who made history by breastfeeding her child on the floor, also tweeted: \”For the first time I had to make a motion while breastfeeding! My accomplice made her motion before I made it. Bless her. See When this news came out, my reaction was relatively calm – as a mother, I sympathize with her love for her children. But on the matter of public breastfeeding, the previous discussion was like this – or like this – it could become a time bomb at any time. For babies who cry when they are thirsty, cry when they are tired, or cry when they are uncomfortable, no matter the occasion, as long as there is an instinctive need, they will burst into their own small universe. It is for this reason that many mothers have questions about breast milk. Have you ever had a similar embarrassing moment? After about half a year of maternity leave, when I went back to work, I had to express milk every day at noon and take it home after work to serve as the baby’s food for the next day. The magazine did not have a special mother and baby room, and the office was ordinary The cubicle and the bathroom in the office building were not very clean. In order to feed my children, I had no choice but to choose a station closest to the side for daily milking work. Fortunately, my colleagues took good care of me. A few days later, as soon as I arrived During milking time, they would go out for a walk together. About half an hour later, I put the ice packs and milk bags in the refrigerator, and they were almost back. One year, I rushed home during the festival and didn\’t buy a sleeper ticket, so I just grabbed one A standing ticket for a hard-seat carriage. There was a young mother on the seat next to her with a baby of about three or four months. The baby cried a few times, obviously hungry, and the young mother also cried because of breast enlargement. My clothes got wet. An aunt across from me probably had some experience (later I chatted and found out that she was working as a confinement nanny in Beijing). She apologized to the men around her one by one and asked them to avoid it for a while. Then she took out a piece of clothing and gave it to the mother. A relatively secluded space was set up for the mother to breastfeed her child. I didn’t have a child at that time, but this scene is still very warm when I think of it 6 years later. Once I went to a shopping mall with a friend and walked around for a while. , her 9-month-old daughter started crying and kept making the sound \”neinei neinei\”. We walked around but couldn\’t find the mother and baby room. My friend felt sorry for her daughter\’s hunger, and she rarely asked for help, so she asked I went to three boutiques before I was allowed to sit in the corner and breastfeed my baby. On the way home, I asked her: \”What would you do if no one agreed to breastfeed your baby?\” She thought for a while and said this: \”After becoming a mother, my face has become thicker. If I still can\’t find a place to feed my child, maybe I will really find a seat to sit down and cover myself.\” Feeding towels, feeding rations to children in public. \”When I was about 20 years old, I absolutely couldn\’t accept breastfeeding in public; and when I was in my 30s, even when I didn\’t have children, I began to understand the mother\’s helpless choice – if I let the child eat Most mothers will do it instinctively when they have a full stomach and avoid being immodest.Offer yourself a more respectable option. Fortunately, the newly built shopping malls here in Beijing, such as INDIGO, Joy City, Blue Harbor, Longhu Tianjie, etc., are equipped with mother and baby rooms, which to a large extent avoid the embarrassment of \”breastfeeding in public\”. But there are still many occasions, such as when we are on long-distance flights, long-distance buses or trains, when we visit shopping malls without nursing rooms, or when we have to go to work even though we are not breastfeeding, we have to risk our lives for the food of our babies. Larissa broke the history of public breastfeeding. With her actions, more and more people may be tolerant of public breastfeeding.
