The concept of breastfeeding is as natural as breathing air, but mother's around the world have been ridiculed and shamed for doing it. Especially, if they do it in public.

A similar incident happened with a mother who was holidaying in Mexico.

Melanie Dudley, a mother of three from Austin, Texas, was having a nice vacation, when while sitting in a restaurant she had to breastfeed her four-month-old baby.

But instead of getting flustered by sudden backlash from a stranger, Melanie gave the man a hilarious response.

Instead of covering her breasts, Melanie asked her husband to hand her a cloth and she covered her face with it.

Melanie's incredible response was caught by fellow diners who were there at the restaurant and was posted on Facebook.

And soon the picture went viral on social media praising Melanie for her act.
