Whether you breastfeed exclusively, prefer to use formula, or have adopted a mix of both methods, we can all agree that nursing is a beautiful, natural moment between a mother and child. It’s a shame we still live in a society that shames and sometimes even criminalizes parents for trying to feed their babies in public. Check out these pictures of parents of all kinds that remind us whether we breastfeed or not, it’s a loving, natural act we can all get behind.

just because you can’t see them doesn’t mean they’re not a family

oh they’re here
they’re here
and they’re feeding

right behind that tree

under the water, the children feed

just out of sight, a mother is

behind, behind, behind

breastfeeding invisibly is a perfectly valid choice for any parent

there they are. do you see them? there

breastfeeding in the mist

any minute now

do you see them?? they see you
