Whether a mum is out shopping, in the park or even at a restaurant, a mother can’t control her baby’s hunger.

This young mum at a friend's wedding did what most breastfeeding mothers would have done if their child was crying for food… She whipped out her breast and fed her child.

Naomi Jael Covert from Germany, posted to Instagram the above photo of herself breastfeeding her 10-month old son, TJ, while seated at one of the guest tables at a wedding.

Shock-horror, no one thought it was weird!

The 21-year-old mum captioned the powerful image, “When you are at a wedding, wear fancy dresses and high heels and your baby gets hungry, well... You give no shits and feed the kid,” she said.

Looking flawless adorned in dangling earrings and a nude dress, Covert posed for the photo with flair, clearly proud of her selfless act.

Her caption continued, “Whoever gets mad about this I also fed my son at the church ceremony IN the church. Here in Germany people don't get mad about it. It is NORMAL . Nothing rude or bad about it. This is why I have breasts! Cause God gave me boobs for feeding my babies.”

Covert woke up the next morning after posting the image and found it had gone viral, receiving almost 5000 likes and 350 comments.

Majority of the comments praised Covert for breastfeeding her baby in public, while very few found it immodest.

“Not sure why everyone wants to show off their breastfeeding, just because it’s natural. I don’t walk around naked… I guess people just lack modesty or manners any more,” one Instagram user said.

The haters were quickly overpowered by many who admired and looked up to Covert’s motherly act, “I want to become an awesome mother just like you seem to be! Happy to know that your picture and attitude helped to make such a difference,” another said.

You go girl!
