Mother distraught after she caught her ‘good friend’ breastfeeding her newborn twice: ‘I was so stressed I almost cried’
- Mama Afiqah Hasanah caught a friend breastfeeding her newborn baby
- The friend’s excuse was the ‘baby cried’
A mother was mortified after finding out her friend was breastfeeding her newborn without her consent.
Afiqah Hasanah, from Malaysia, had her hands full with a family event, so she turned to her friend for help and was assured that her son Haider would be taken care of.
However, she was not impressed with the way she took care of him.
“I was busy carrying things, and when I arrived, she asked me for Haider, so I gave it to him [to her] because she was someone close to me,” the mother said in a video.
“While I was carrying those things, I suddenly saw she was doing something in the back of an open hallway.”
“Apparently she was breastfeeding Haider.”

When Afiqah confronted her friend, she said ‘her excuse was my baby was crying’ – but this was unacceptable
When Afiqah confronted her friend, she said ‘her excuse was my baby was crying’ – but this was unacceptable.
“What mother can accept that her baby is fed directly by someone else while the mother is getting breast milk herself?” she said.
In the emotional video, the mom appeared to be on the verge of crying and said, “I didn’t expect her to be able to do something like that.”
“I was so stressed I almost cried.. this has destroyed my trust in people. How long will this haunt me?’
But even after confronting her “good friend,” Afiqah’s mother caught the woman committing the act a second time.
“Now I’m having a hard time shaking it off,” she said.

The video has since been viewed over 2.9 million times, has received over 261,000 likes and many have been sympathetic to the mother.
“How can anyone even do that without thinking!? It’s so frustrating to hear this,” one person commented.
“New fear unlocked,” one mom said, another added, “Gotta be careful around people like that.” Get ready to keep the kid away when she’s around.”
Something similar happened to another woman, but her own sister breastfed her baby.
