"After a few minutes this older lady walked up to me, I was scared, thinking she was gonna tell me to put my boob away," wrote Mcqueen. "Instead she starts cutting up my breakfast for me and said 'what a good mama you are, we can't have your food getting cold can we?' I honestly could have cried."

The sweet gesture struck a cord with people around the world. The photo has been shared more than 11,000 times in just a few days and several women have left comments sharing their own positive breastfeeding experiences.
