Lomax came across the post the day she and her family spent the day at the beach with her nine-week-old son, Baker.

And the minute she saw the post, she recognised the woman who put it up. ?

"Not only did this women pass me multiple times with her son," she said.

"You had every opportunity in the world to say something to me - not that I would have cared or stopped what I was doing - but you instead choose to post a video of me and my child on Facebook publicly for the world to see."

Lomax opened up about the clip choosing to repost the video to her TikTok page, but leaving the woman's profile name and picture out of it.

The original video ?showed Lomax sitting on a beach chair surrounded by her fianc¨¦ and his parents, feeding her little boy.

The women zoomed in to the mum and her baby, who were completely unaware they were being filmed.

She then posted the video to the Facebook Group with the caption, "COVER TF UP!!! I shouldn't have to cover my sons eyes and explain why your boobs are out and quite frankly I don't want to see it either. Have some respect!"

Lomax was taken a back by the woman's rant, confused at why she was so outraged by her actions.

"What if you were told the only way you can eat at the beach is if you're covered up by a towel??" she said.

"My child was also hungry in multiple restaurants and while we were walking down the street. And guess what? He ate."

She confirmed that the post has been deleted from the Facebook Page, but wanted to thank all the people who came to her defense in the comments. ?

"Next time you see your mum breastfeeding in public covered up or not, tell her how good of a job she's doing."

Speaking to TODAY, Lomax explained that it was around 31 degrees that day and it would have been too risky to cover her newborn with a towel while feeding him.

"We were in our own little area and I didn't notice anyone staring at us or anything," she recalled. "It wouldn't even occur to me that somebody would be upset about me feeding my child."

9Honey Parenting spoke to Sydney mum Alexa ?Evans ?who also went through an embarrassing personal experience that saw her be called out by a pool guard when attempting to feed her son during a family day out.

"I was annoyed because feeding is not a sexual thing," she said, recalling the moment she was asked to leave the public pool because the man claimed she was 'exposing' herself.

"There's absolutely no law that says we cannot breastfeed in public. We're not running around butt naked, we are very simply feeding or comforting our children," she says.

A Kin Fertility survey of over 300 women who have breastfed in the last three years has revealed two in three women have experience a negative experience breastfeeding in public.

The research found fear of social commentary and judgment are the biggest challenges women face.
