       Hi Mummies,
       My name is Amina Mohamoud and my first experience of
       'mummy-shaming' was at the park. The park? I know right. What
       could I have done to anger such a person, that would want to
       physically attack me? Breastfeeding. I was breastfeeding my baby
       Asiyah. What horrified me was not that I was being denied to
       naturally feed my child, what shocked me was that the person
       shouting was a mother herself.
       Over the years I have had countless encounters with individuals
       who would shame me for feeding my child at both a mental and
       physical aspect. Children's Literature has always included
       parents who hide the real world from their children. I am sorry,
       but the real world is much more than chocolate factories or big
       spider webs. While these pieces of literature have deeper
       meanings and discuss many adult fears. It is vital that we teach
       our children aspects of gender, class and race in a more clear
       and efficient way.
       The purpose of this forum is to create a safe environment for
       mummies for the future generation. By rejecting and subverting
       traditional conceptions of motherhood, we raise more self-aware
       individuals. Feel free to join this family, give testimonies;
       let us connect. Also, you are welcomed to check out my profile
       at the top.  :) :P
