"I chose to shed light on this topic due to the countless messages or comments from people who¡¯ve questioned and judged my decisions as a mother - An issue I¡¯m certain that most women endure on social media."
She further added that no one has the right to comment on the mother's choice.

"Whether I choose to breastfeed my daughter or not should not be the subject of anybody¡¯s conversation. There are countless concerns that go into breastfeeding, it simply doesn¡¯t work for all mothers, something that no mother should be judged for online or off."
Diipa further decided to shut up all the trolls and people who get intrusive and how she handles her baby. She added,

"In response to the frequently asked question, I¡¯ve decided on supplementing at this stage ( a combination of both breastfeeding and using a formula). Moreover, while I¡¯m away for a two-day business trip, I prepared for my absence by breast-pumping multiple times before my departure."
Diipa urged people on the internet to show some empathy and compassion towards 'mothers.' She concluded by saying,
Diipa
"This is just a reminder that online personalities are human as well, where life and feelings lay behind a screen. I kindly ask that you withhold judgmental remarks regarding any mother on this beautiful motherhood journey. As much as the concern is appreciated, it is a personal journey between mother and child and should be treated as such."
