Brooklyn Decker took to Twitter to express her rage after missing a flight to pump breast milk for her son in an airport restroom.
The model shared her story in a series of tweets, posting that her flight had been delayed for two hours and passengers were informed they could de-plane. The 29-year-old mom, took the opportunity to quickly pump breast milk in the restroom, but returned to a closed flight, shortly thereafter.
2 mechanical delays. Told we could de-plane. I did. Pumped in the bathroom. Returned 15 min later. Flight closed. Deeeeep breaths.

The new mom, who gave birth to son Hank in October, had earlier tweeted her anxieties about leaving her baby for the first time, asking Twitter followers advice on where to pump breast milk.
First time leaving baby. It’s only 1 night & doesn’t make sense to fly him back & forth. I’m a mess.
Moms: booze is my only solution,right?

And I repeat-this is the FIRST TIME leaving my baby. I don’t know why I’m sharing all of this. I’m just livid. And tweeting. Whilst drinking — Brooklyn Decker (@BrooklynDecker) April 27, 2016

She lamented getting off the flight in the first place, tweeting, “Crazy thing is I got off to pump thinking “I don’t want to offend the guy next to me’ But why? He probably sucked a boob too. #winemusings.”; This morning the model tweeted while she was on her way home to her son, pumping milk on the flight, adding, “All is well.”;
Ironically, I’m sitting on a flight as I type this. Pumping next to a perfectly, lovely (male) stranger. Listening to lemonade. All is well.
