Seriously?
Talk about ironic.
This mum was visiting the Victoria and Albert (V&A) art museum in London when her baby started to get hungry.
She said she “flashed a nanosecond of a nipple” before she was approached and told to “cover up” by a member of staff.
Flashed a nanosecond of nipple while #breastfeeding and was asked to cover up in @V_and_A courtyard. Am perplexed…. pic.twitter.com/T6VIRQbgrC

She said she found this particularly confusing due to the fact that she was inside a museum full of naked statues.
It wasn’t long before the tweet went viral, gaining over 4,000 retweets and more than 7,000 favourites in under a day.
The museum’s director, Tristram Hunt, took to the social media platform to offer his apologies to the mum. He said:
.@vaguechera V sorry. Our policy is clear: women may breastfeed wherever they like, wherever they feel comfortable & shld not be disturbed.

She responded that perhaps he should train his staff better, and wished him a #HappyBreastFeedingWeek.
Brilliant.
