Celeb Moms Promote Breastfeeding on Social Media

This World Breastfeeding Week, celebrity mothers took to social media to promote and normalise breastfeeding.

Every year, the first week of August is celebrated as World Breastfeeding Week to promote the importance of breastfeeding and extend support to new mothers all over the world.

This year’s theme is “Breastfeeding: Foundation for Life” — a recognition of the importance of breastfeeding to a baby’s future.

Breastfeeding is considered to be one of the most effective ways to provide children the best start to life. It is a newborn’s first vaccine, providing vital antibodies and immunity boost.

According to World Health Organization, globally, only about two out of five newborns are put to the breast within an hour of birth and only 40 per cent of children under six months of age are exclusively breastfed.

It is, therefore, essential to create awareness about the subject and thanks to the power of the internet, new mothers all across the globe are leading the charge to normalise breastfeeding.

Celeb Moms Encourage Breastfeeding on Social Media

This World Breastfeeding Week, celebrity mothers took to social media, posting pictures of them breastfeeding their little ones.

I've gotten loads of posts asking about life after having my son... esp to do with weight and fitness. Seeing as it's World Breastfeeding Week- time to give some credit where credit is due. Breastfeeding has played such a big part in getting back into shape after giving birth to my baby. Breastfeeding has been challenging+time consuming (literally hours spent everyday trying to stimulate milk supply) but it's such a beautiful way to bond and connect with your child plus all the nutritional benefits that your child gets from your milk. Look out for my blog post on mycityforkids.com on breastfeeding. Happy #worldbreastfeedingweek

These two pictures might be my favorite ones of last weekend! There is more than one message that we all can take from these. One being, I hope to normalize breastfeeding because it’s a natural thing women can do for their babies. I think women should be able to feed their babies how they want, when they want and where they want. End of discussion! Another message I hope comes out of this is that women need to be confident in themselves no matter what. There is no one shape, size, age, or ethnicity that defines beauty. We are all beautiful! Look at the final 16 girls that were chosen. All different. All beautiful. Thank you @si_swimsuit and @mj_day for celebrating that year after year. Lastly, never give up on your dreams and goals, even when it may seem like there are many barriers in front of you at times. You are stronger than you think! We can do it all! So my #wcw today is every woman out there!!!! WOMEN CRUSH WEDNESDAY! 1st: @quinn_willoughby 2nd: @theimagesniper #girlpower #siswimsearch #normalizebreastfeeding #bodypositivity
