Brittni Medina, of Rancho Cucamonga, posted the photo in a Facebook group that supports mothers who breast-feed in public, FOX11 reported. Medina wrote that she was visiting the "happiest place on Earth" in November with her family when her 10-month-old son became hungry.

Medina said she was comfortable "feeding anywhere" so she pulled down her shirt and breast-fed her son. The mother wrote her husband took a photo of her feeding their child with two women standing in the background visibly annoyed.

"Well these two ladies were so angry by it my husband just had to take a picture. Peep the haters," Medina wrote.

Medina wrote in an update that the two women were making "snarky comments so I moved from my spot to catch a picture with these characters." Medina concluded that "no women should be shamed for feeding their baby uncovered."
