A mom breastfeeding inside a pizza place has been rewarded with a pizza for trying to feed her child in a natural manner.

The waitress herself bought Jackie Johnson-Smith a pizza, and she left a message supporting her way of raising her child.

According to the Huffington Post, Johnson-Smith posted a photo of the receipt on Facebook where 2,000 people shared it.

"I bought one of your pizzas. Please thank your wife for breastfeeding," the message addressed to her husband reads.

The nursing mom described being "speechless and emotional" by the gesture, as she has been criticized over feeding her child in public in the past.

Waitress Bodi Kinney says that she has breastfed herself and she wants to encourage other moms to do the same.
