A young mum from Australia is being praised for sharing an image of herself breastfeeding her son at a wedding (because, as all mothers know, babies need fed no matter what’s going on).
Twenty-one-year-old Haddas Ancliffe, who is a blogger also known as Dahs according to Daily Mail Australia, received a lot of positive comments after sharing the snap below.
The caption read: Just me and my baby having a drink (Gotta do what you gotta do, wedding or not)#normalizebreastfeeding”.
While the majority of comments were positive, there were (as there always is) some negative remarks.
Many celebrated the image, writing things including: “Just saw your story, you are amazing. Keep on doing what you do and be strong. Let’s normalise breastfeeding and make people realize how wonderful it is.”
Others were less supportive as one user showed by saying: “It’s cool you’re breastfeeding but don’t need to show it to the world. Attention wh*re.”
According to Daily Mail Australia, Haddas has amassed followers and inspired other women with her honest approach to her post-body baby.
Alongside the above picture, she wrote: “#mombod Images of young women in bikinis flood our Instagram feeds daily. Sexual, near naked, provocative pictures that get a lot of attention and make other women who don’t look the same feel inadequate.
“Well here’s a different kind of provocative image for your feed. An image that says, my body is stretched, sagging and uneven but I’m still attractive. You don’t stop looking good in a bikini once you have kids, you just look like a different kind of good.
“When your body no longer looks like the Instagram bikini model and you have a mom bod, be proud! Put on your bikini and belly chain, do your best Kylie Jenner in the pool pose and be proud that your child thinks you’re the most beautiful person in the world… That’s all that matters anyway. #motherhood”.
