New mum shames commuters who made her stand to breastfeed her baby

Bryony Esther recently had to stand on public transport while she breastfed her child because no one would offer her a seat.

She recounted her experience on Facebook and the post has been shared almost 25,000 times.

Having to stand on a train whilst breastfeeding my baby thanks to the lovely bunch of charmers giving more priority to their suitcases and rolling joints!!

It stinks. Plus the cyclist with a fancy bike that keeps rolling into me, sat in the disabled seat. Please share cos I'd love it if their mothers, girlfriends and wives get to see how they behave.

In the photo Esther posted, you can see a cyclist in a chair, facing Esther as she breastfeeds.

She wrote in the comments:

Someone asked her if they definitely knew she was breastfeeding, and she replied:
