Lisa Haydon gives an important message with a photo of breastfeeding her baby

Just an hour after we came across the very first snap of Karan Johar’s twins, here’s a beautiful Instagram post by Lisa Haydon. Lisa recently became a proud mother to baby boy Zack. Since then, we keep coming across her adorable moments with her baby. But this one is not just another Instagram update. It gives out a strong message.

“I’ve gotten loads of posts asking about life after having my son… esp to do with weight and fitness. Seeing as it’s World Breastfeeding Week- time to give some credit where credit is due. Breastfeeding has played such a big part in getting back into shape after giving birth to my baby. Breastfeeding has been challenging+time consuming (literally hours spent everyday trying to stimulate milk supply) but it’s such a beautiful way to bond and connect with your child plus all the nutritional benefits that your child gets from your milk. Look out for my blog post on mycityforkids.com on breastfeeding. Happy #worldbreastfeedingweek,” [sic] she wrote.

Nothing can be a purer sight than a mother feeding her child. But given how the virtual world is often insensitive and judgmental, it is a courageous move of a mom to share such a moment.

Add to it the inhibitions and taboos that come with breastfeeding. We doubt how many of Lisa’s followers will be really able to process this.

Hats off to the new mom!
