Actress and singer Zikhona Sodlaka has made it clear that her baby will not starve just because people are uncomfortable with a mother breastfeeding her baby in public. Zikhona is a new mom. She was blessed with a baby a few weeks ago.
Taking to her Instagram to give a piece of her mind, Zikhona said if a person is uncomfortable looking at the baby feeding then they should cover their eyes.
She wrote: Here's what's not going to happen, my baby and everybody else's baby who feeds from the breast is not going to go hungry because of the strange comments made when a woman decides to feed her child. If it is uncomfortable for you to look at a feeding baby that needs to grow, then perhaps YOU cover YOUR eyes or you get up and you walk away.
I don't want to talk about how strange it is to not want to see a child feeding because we all know that in the beginning of your life you too had to suckle from your mother's breast.
Last month Zikhona announced that she has given birth. She shared beautiful pictures of her carrying her newborn baby.
She said she is certain that her life will never be the same again: "Every now and then...when you have the nerve or the confidence to take a moment and look at your life... so you stop.... and there it is! Your life as you've lived it before this very moment and you know beyond any doubt that things will never ever be the same again. This right here is one of those very moments!"
She added that she is proud of her younger self and she hopes God grants her the right armor for her new journey.
“I am so super proud of the 19 year old Zikhona 16 years ago, wet behind the ears who entered this art form I love so much that has opened so many doors for me. And here's to getting to know the 35 year old woman who is at the beginning of something new and wet behind the ears in this parenting thing too
“I have earned all my silver stripes, all of them...iinyawo zindo daka! May God and all the angels I've inherited carry us through and equip me with the correct armor for new wars and new wins Makwande. I Salut all rural moms in the city.”
