People never seem to have a problem with half naked women posing in barely-there bikinis on Instagram. “EMPOWERMENT” everybody cheers, like a genetically-gifted supermodel capturing her pert derriere mid-thrust is some incredible feat of feminism.
But as soon as an everyday mum posts a photo breastfeeding her young son? Not. Okay.
“COVER UP!”, “THROW A BLANKET ON” the judgement rolls in, like a mother feeding her offspring is this dirty, inappropriate thing that must be relegated to the offline world.
Luckily for us Naomi Jael Covert, a mum from Vilseck, Germany, knows that’s complete and utter bullshit. This 21-year-old sees breastfeeding as inherently beautiful, and a snap she uploaded to Instagram this week has our entire office cheering.
