Emily Ratajkowski is busy being a breastfeeding mum – and we are loving the candid snaps

Emily Ratajkowsk breastfeeding

Just a (very stylish) mum doing a very normal thing!

We are here for anyone or anything normalising breastfeeding – and right now, model and actress Emily Ratajkowski is using Instagram to do just that – sharing the most gorgeous, intimate snaps of herself breastfeeding her little boy, Sylvester (Sly) – who is already almost a month old!

Little Sly’s birth announcement on social media was done with this beautiful breastfeeding picture.

And then, a couple of weeks later, Ratajkowski shared another intimate snap of herself feeding her infant son, this time captioned just: “Beautiful boy”.

And then, earlier this week, the 29-year-old shared yet another feeding picture – and this time, her accessory game was strong, showing off her two new necklaces; a gold chain with a gem-encrusted ‘Sylvester’ in the centre of it and a second gold necklace simply reading ‘mama’.

The two pictures were shared over the Easter weekend, so the caption, no doubt referring to her gorgeous little boy, simply read: “My bunny.”

Yes, they might just be ‘normal’ images of a mum feeding her baby, but in a world where many mums still talk about feeling uncomfortable feeding their babies in public or admit they feel anxious about having someone make comments about feeding their babies when out and about, we think the world needs to see more of this.

More mums, more boobs used for feeding, more babies being fed – good grief, it is 2021! If people cannot tolerate seeing babies being fed by the bodies who made them, then they got to get their heads checked.
