        Why is it “well done” .. she’s in a marathon.. This activity is for running. Not for breastfeeding. Grow up.

        Why? Really?You are aware of the utter ignorance concerning breastfeeding? It's pathetic and completely mad! So yes, props to her! Women's breasts are deemed as sexual for others pleasure. Breastfeeding shouldn't be the topic, the weirdos that that are offended by it should be

        I’m not offended by breastfeeding 😂 Breastfeeding during a marathon is stupid. It was for attention. If she wants to breastfeed in public, go do it, what’s next? Breastfeeding during golf, rowing or Olympic Games. Not necessary.

        She was doing an 105 mile ultramarathon that took her 40+ hours so she was breastfeeding and/or expressing milk at each checkpoint. It's an oversubscribed race and they don't allow you to defer for pregnancy/maternity so she did it and fed her baby. That's why it's WELL DONE!

        So .. she could’ve just not done the marathon then? Seems like people like making an issue out of breastfeeding in public, but no body cares. No one with a brain anyway. Point is, this headline is only a headline because of the ‘marathon’ aspect.

        You can't defer, you have to qualify for the ballot and she'd lost a place in 2015 when pregnant so decided to do it. The fact many women have said how great it was leads me to believe that perhaps some people do care about it and that's the point.

        Women run, women breastfeed. But “well done?” Why? Because she’s doing it all? Women “do it all” everyday. Well done to all women.

        Ummm why? Women can be inspired by men, men can be inspired by women. Quit with the RIDICULOUS identity politics. Plus you are stereotyping and generalizing. Report news, not opinions.

        Why oh why is there a debate about women breastfeeding? The reason nature gave us breasts that fill with milk is to FEED our young! It's the sickos that sexualise women's breasts that need discussing.
