Samantha Holmes is a young mother of 29 and has three children, one of whom was born a few months ago. He shared his story on the internet, which quickly went viral. She and her husband Jarred were on the tube in London and Samantha needed to breastfeed her baby, but no one offered her a seat, so she had to breastfeed him standing up.

Breastfeeds in flight because baby is crying but is told to stop: “It makes passengers uncomfortable.”

The history

The history of Samantha Holmes was reported by Chron. The 29-year-old said: “I was on the tube in London with Jarred and our little girl, who was hungry so had to breastfeed, but no one made a move to get up and offer me a seat. “I was really upset when not even angry. It's hard enough to balance on your own, let alone when trying to feed a two-month-old baby. I then told my husband to take a photo of the situation because I couldn't believe it. I felt invisible: but could anyone see me or not? Everyone had their heads bowed. I have no problem breastfeeding in public, but what I experienced was shameful. However, I couldn't believe it. My blood boiled.

The company's response

After reading the young mother's story, the transportation company got in touch Transport to London wrote in a statement: “All buses, subways, trains and trams have clearly marked priority seats for anyone who needs them.” If one is not available, you can ask whoever is sitting to give it up. You can also request a “Please give up your seat” badge or card or a “Baby on Board” badge to help those in need sit comfortably.
