Breastfeeding can create a special, unbreakable bond between mother and child. But, although breastfeeding is perfectly natural, it can be a subject that divides opinion. Thankfully, a huge number of high profile celebrities have spoken out about the joy that breastfeeding can bring, and some have even been photographed breastfeeding in public. These women are becoming positive role models for all mums who wish to breastfeed:
Gwen Stefani
The No Doubt front woman has spoken openly about how much joy breastfeeding her son Zuma brought her. When he was 3 months old, she was photographed feeding him on a park bench in Los Angeles. Gwen later shared how Zuma self-weaned when she was on tour with No Doubt saying, “I didn’t want him to quit, it felt like total rejection.”
Maggie Gyllenhaal
Maggie Gyllenhaal, another celebrity advocate of breastfeeding, was photographed feeding her daughter Ramona in New York’s Greenwich Village. Make-up free and content, Maggie shows expectant and new Mums that breastfeeding is nothing to be ashamed of. She also shows that it’s possible to look comfortable and stylish in nursing clothes, wearing a stylish tweed jacket and simple top.
Miranda Kerr
Just hours after giving birth to her son Flynn, Miranda was photographed nursing him by her husband, actor Orlando Bloom. In the photograph, she looks calm and comfortable in her LA hospital bed. Famous for her effortless maternity wear style, Miranda has opted for comfort while nursing her son, wearing just a simple patterned robe.
