So what’s the best way to feed your baby?
Amanda Seyfried, who gave birth to her first child last March, with husband Thomas Sadoski, has made her stance on the issue of breastfeeding very clear and we are huge fans of the simple yet flawless words she chose. In a Tweet she posted on Wednesday she said,
“Breastfeeding is awesome. Formula is Awesome. Feeding your baby is awesome. Not awesome? Judgement.”
Breastfeeding is awesome. Formula is awesome. Feeding your baby is awesome. Not awesome? Judgement.

Undoubtedly a major supporter of mums, the 31-year-old actress didn’t just stop there.
“Breasts are intended to feed babies. With all our progress on feminist issues, how can such a simple biological imperative…”

“…remain so stigmatized? In a word: sex. We live in a culture comfortable with exploiting breasts to sell burgers, for goodness sake.”

“How would you rather your body be portrayed?” -Maureen Shaw

The quotes she used were words previously uttered by Maureen Shaw, Founder and Editor in Chief of sherights.com which is dedicated to fighting for women’s rights. Shaw wrote an intriguing article about America’s sexualisation of women and their breasts and wrote candidly about the debate surrounding breastfeeding in public.
Evidently, Amanda is a big fan of Shaw’s work and the new mum is well on her way for arguing against breastfeed shaming, whether it be what we feed our babas or where we feed them for that matter. When baba is hungry, baba’s got to eat.
