This free-the-nipple mama wants anti-breastfeeding whiners to suck it up

Whipping out her bare boobs in public has come as second nature to a Gen Z mother who’s refusing to cover up while nursing her daughter — even though online freaks say they masturbate to the display

“It could be anywhere; the tram, bus, a restaurant, I could be pushing the [stroller] in a shop and I’ll feed her wherever we are,” boasted mom of one Shaina O’Neil, 18, from the UK, to Caters.  

But her unabashed milking has resulted in some offensively sour remarks from cynics. 

“Men say things such as ‘Can I have a turn’,” she said, adding that they’ve, too, asked to be her stepson, and have admitted to pleasuring themselves by “tugging” their genitals while watching her breastfeed. 

“Men also say it makes them hard watching my videos,” said O’Neil. “I can’t believe it, boobs are for feeding babies. It’s a natural thing.”

“I don’t get why people think it’s me looking for sexual attention and making sexual comments,” the bold blond continued. “I am just doing something so natural that was seen as normal 60 years ago.”

O’Neil, who’s virally shared images of her two-year-old daughter Isabella suckling her breast on TikTok, unexpectedly became pregnant at age 16 while on birth control. 

As a teen parent, she never planned to become a social media advocate for public breastfeeding.

“When I fell pregnant I was scared, I didn’t know what to do as it was very unexpected as I fell pregnant on the pill,” said O’Neil, who confessed that she didn’t experience a strong emotional attachment to her baby, initially. 

“I never planned on breastfeeding, but when I did, it completely changed me,” she said. “It’s created such an amazing bond.”

And she’s far from alone in her decision to breastfeed her bundle of joy — with whom she endured a “painful,” four-day-long labor. 

In fact, a busty mother known on TikTok as @MsCalicumCannons98 went viral in December after being virtually slut-shamed for unashamedly breastfeeding her son in the middle of a grocery store.

And across the U.S., a whopping 83.2% of infants are nursed by willing moms, per a 2020-2021 survey via the CDC. The report added that over 55% of newborns continued to be breastfed past the 6-month mark. 

The nourishing practice has been scientifically praised for its many health benefits for both mother and child. 

Creeps on TikTok regularly flood O'Neil's comments with sexual remarks.

According to the CDC, breastmilk can protect babies against some short- and long-term illnesses such as asthma, obesity, type 1 diabetes, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Likewise, breastfeeding moms are at reduced risk of breast and ovarian cancer, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure.

O’Neil added, “They do say as well they breastfeeding reduces postpartum depression by 50%.”

But when she first began nursing, the unpracticed parent was afraid to do it in broad daylight. 

“I did cover-up at the start as I felt uneasy and it was hard with a blanket because I had to keep checking every two seconds underneath it,” she said. “So now I don’t use one at all and it’s much easier.”

“I would always think about how I was going to do it in public,” added the mother, “but the more I went to the midwife and after speaking to my mom, I realized I wanted to do it and I’m so glad I did it.”

O’Neil has since learned to ignore the negativity from irreverent guys and judgmental women, who feel she should breastfeed in private. 

 “I’ve learned to brush the comments off, their opinions are irrelevant,” she said, noting that another mother asked her cover-up while nursing because she didn’t want her son to witness the partial nudity. 

“You wouldn’t tell a woman feeding with a bottle to cover up the bottle,” O’Neil retorted. “My baby comes before others so I don’t let it affect me.

“I’m sorry feeding my daughter makes people feel uncomfortable.”

The online and in-person shade spurred by her unabashed breastfeeding aside, O’Neil encourages her fellow mommies to do what’s breast for their little ones. 

“I would recommend for moms to just go into it without a care in the world,” she advised. Your baby comes first.”
