30 times celebrities powerfully normalised breastfeeding

Superhero mum Ashley Graham always keeps it real with her 21 million followers – and never more so than when she uploaded a photo of herself tandem feeding her twins, Malachi and Roman. She captioned the snap: "double fisting 😂 (peep the whacky tan lines)".

Her followers clearly appreciated the model allowing them a glimpse into the world of mothering twins, as one wrote in response: "As a new mama of twins I know the struggle of breastfeeding them. I’m so impressed by the tandem feeding and hope we can get there soon. Power to you!"

Another added, "Gurrllll I am exhausted with ONE breastfeeding baby! 👏👏❤️" while a third said, "This picture is so powerful. The strength of a woman."

This is far from the first time the mother-of-three has been candid about breastfeeding (and all things related to pregnancy or the fourth trimester) – since welcoming her eldest child, Isaac, in 2020, she regularly shared updates on everything from feeding in public (see below) to postpartum hair loss.

After giving birth to her son Isaac, model Ashley Graham has continued to embrace the body positivity campaign she advocated during her pregnancy by sharing intimate, empowering pictures of giving birth – and of breastfeeding, like this one.

The Barbie star kept it extremely real when she uploaded a photo of herself pumping milk, after returning to work post welcoming her daughter, Lucia. America captioned the shot, "Mama goes back to work... baby and pump in tow. #pumplife."

After welcoming her fourth child, Rose, Loose Women star Stacey Solomon took to Instagram to share her breastfeeding experience, telling her 6 million followers that all she does is "eat, sleep, feed, repeat!"

In another post, Stacey explained her nipples were like "one giant blister" due to breastfeeding, and she also opened up about the other difficulties she'd been experiencing.

"I'm struggling again with feeding this time around, so spending all of my energy trying to feed, eat and rest," she said. "Also seeing local breastfeeding specialists and the community midwives who have been incredible, so hoping for a more positive journey in the end this time but not putting pressure on myself. Even though it makes me a bit sad. Whatever will be will be."

Back in 2021, singer Halsey proudly posted a photo "just in time" for World Breastfeeding Week, showing them breastfeeding their first child, Ender Ridley Aydin, who is mere weeks old in the picture. The cutie!

Throughout pregnancy, Halsey regularly shared updates on their changing body and connected with fans over "the joys and horrors" they experienced while carry a baby – helping to further smash taboos and stigma placed on parents. One taboo in particular that Halsey has been speaking out on is wanting to still remain connected to their sexuality, whilst embarking on a journey of parenthood.

"The idea that me as a sexual being and my body as a vessel and gift to my child are two concepts that can co-exist peacefully and powerfully," they said, when revealing their album cover artwork for If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power.

We're so here for it.

The model's birth announcement was accompanied by a photograph of her feeding little Sylvester. Emily has since shared multiple pictures normalising breastfeeding (some of which are also fashion envy-inducing, as well as powerful).

The Love Island star has been honestly documenting her journey into motherhood, with late night feeds being just one aspect of it.

Model Iskra spoke candidly to her 5.5 million followers about the pressures women face when it comes to breastfeeding, pointing out that 'breast is best' is pretty darn dated. "Fed is best," she reminded her online community. "As I shared before, my milk supply dropped completely and it was awful. A screaming hungry baby and I was a sobbing mess.

"I wish I wouldn’t have put so much pressure on myself surrounding breast feeding. I wish I had a formula ready that my baby liked, and not been afraid of using it."

Mama Cardi ensured breastfeeding even made a cameo in one of her music videos, for her smash hit Money

The mum-of-four shared a sweet snap of herself breastfeeding her son Miles – and her daughter Luna's doll. Multi-tasking at its finest!

"When you're workin but babies gotta eat" the actor and activewear founder captioned this one. Amen.

I mean, is this not just a literal work of art?

We love a celeb who normalises breastfeeding, and we love it even more when the use a punny caption to do so! Three cheers for Shay.

Speaking about the pressure to 'snap back' after giving birth, model Kate Upton shared a breastfeeding photo and some wise words, "Every mother's experience is different with every baby. I’ve learned everyone's journey is extremely personal and no two are the same... In my opinion, enjoy the moments with your new baby and growing family, allow your body time to heal and make sure to go at your own pace."

Actor Hilary posted a photo of herself breastfeeding baby Banks, along with some thoughts on how it can be a challenge to manage feeding a little one when you return to work. It's so important to keep having these conversations!
