At a family dinner, Jackie Johnson Smith faced a surprise.
In a post on Facebook, she wrote “I have breastfed three children… I have breastfed them in countless places both pleasant and unpleasant, discreetly and out in the open. I have gotten many looks and stares, but tonight erase any negativity I have ever received. I ate at Fong’s for the first time tonight. Having a fussy baby I nursed him for a while in the booth and eventually left the table early so as not to disrupt the restaurant.”
“The waitress gave this receipt to my husband. I was speechless and emotional. Although I don’t need a pat on the back for feeding my child, it sure felt amazing. It is amazing how we women can make each other feel when we empower each other,” the post concluded.
The note was penned by waitress Bodi Kinney, who told the station: “We need to come together and support each other when it comes to nursing our children.”
Her post was shared over 2000 times and many people were happy for the sensitivity shown.
