The debate about breastfeeding in public has been going on for a long time. Now, a young mother is making her point, and it’s making some people upset. Let’s find out more about her.
When a baby is hungry, they don’t care where they are. Some moms feel uncomfortable breastfeeding in public, but not this young mother. She believes it’s important to breastfeed her 17-month-old daughter wherever they are, even in public.
Trinati breastfeeds her toddler openly, but not everyone around her is okay with it. She often gets strange looks, and sometimes store employees even ask her to breastfeed in a closet.
Broom closets aren’t good places for feeding babies. Trinati didn’t like it, so she did something about it. She had her son take a picture of her breastfeeding her baby daughter at Costco. She said, “I always give my kids what they need, no matter where we are.”
Trinati doesn’t just get looks from strangers. Even her friends and family ask, “How long will you do that?” She always says, “As long as she needs me!” Sometimes they joke she’ll breastfeed until her daughter goes to kindergarten!
Trinati is tired of people making breastfeeding seem sexual or judging her for it. She said, “Really? Have you seen breastfeeding? My nipples don’t look like anything to fantasize about! Ha!
Trinati continued, saying, “These are basically udders right now. Get over yourself! I’m not trying to steal your man or lady with these bad girls! To me, they have become so far from feeling like a sexual part of my body. Right now they belong to my child for nourishment, both physically and emotionally.”
She wants to raise awareness about breastfeeding being something to nourish a child and in no way be something sexual.
“I don’t expect all men or those who have never breastfed to understand the ways in which mothers have the endurance to deal with nipple-pinching or straight-up acrobatics while breastfeeding,” she explained. “I have received the strangest glances and awkward giggles when people watch my 1.5-year-old standing on my lap while suckling … sometimes on one leg!”
To make breastfeeding in public normal, she took a picture of herself breastfeeding her toddler. She wanted to show how mothers always care for their kids, no matter where they are.
“I had my son take that photo of us in Costco because I never want to forget (and [I want to] show my daughter in the future) the lengths we, as mothers, will go to when ensuring our kids are well looked after no matter the situation,” she said.
“My baby’s needs come waaaaaay before anyone else’s attempts to make me feel inappropriate for this sometimes-public act of nourishing and/or comforting my children,” she wrote in the caption for the Instagram post.
She wants her children to know they are always her top priority, no matter what others think.
“Trust is important for good relationships and it starts with the care we get as kids,” she said. “Breastfeeding shows my children I care, so I won’t feel ashamed for doing it in any place.”

Wendy Williams Makes First Public Appearance in Over a Year and People Spotted the Same Detail
Wendy Williams has recently made her first public appearance in over a year, marking a significant moment in the life of the renowned television personality. This outing is the first time Williams has been spotted publicly since March 2023.
During their visit to a herbal store, Williams reportedly appeared “sharp, upbeat, and aware,” according to an employee. The same source described her as “very bubbly” and engaging, although she was not as familiar with the store’s offerings, leaving her son to explain more about the products and services. Williams reportedly expressed interest in improving circulation but chose not to go into too much detail during this initial visit, indicating plans to return in the near future.
Before this recent appearance, Williams was last publicly seen in March 2023 when she returned to her apartment in New York City. Prior to that, her last appearance on The Wendy Williams Show was in 2021. The show, which continued with guest hosts, concluded in 2022 amid ongoing health concerns for Williams, including Graves’ disease and lymphedema.
In 2024, Williams’s team made public a press release where she said she was diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia.
Despite her health issues, her fans continue to show support for the media personality. In the recently shared photo, people expressed joy in seeing her apparently well. “Wendy looks good,” and “I’m so glad to see her looking healthy,” are some of the comments on Facebook.
Wendy Williams’ recent public appearance offers a glimpse of hope between the challenges she has faced over the past few years. While her health struggles have kept her largely out of the public eye, this outing suggests that Williams is taking steps toward recovery, supported by her son and close network.
