Acrobatic Olympian Receives Backlash for Breastfeeding Pic

Oh Lord....my sis, a mother herself, would be the first to barf at the "sacred" motherhood crap.

Another case of -just because you can...

Pretty cool picture.

Naked breast!!!!!!!!!!

I'm afraid!!!!!

Society as we know it is ENDING!!!!!!

"The photo was pretty cool -- it's an impressive feat!!! -- but it was met with backlash on social media ... with people calling her a bad mother and an attention-seeker. "

It doesn't make her a bad mother. But, she's obviously an attention seeker. I'm not even using the term negatively. But, it's clear she wants attention. These made up, self-initiated mini-dramas are so tedious. Anyone with half a brain knows that social media will always bring "backlash" whether warranted or not.

sorry but who want to see that shit?

That poor kid's gonna starve.

Toughened her nipples didn’t it?

She’s so upside down that she may be making ‘chocolate’ milk for that baby.

What if she falls on the child??

Why not just take a photo of yourself taking a dump. Surely someone has done that, too.

Some things best be private.

^^^Excuse me?

Isn't that kid a little old to be breast-feeding?

She’s in great shape, not just for someone who had a child not too long ago. I don’t care for kids or breastfeeding, but I can’t find it in me to hate the picture. It looks like they’re both having a good time.

Breasts are for breastfeeding. They have no other purpose. They're not genitalia so I don't get why breastfeeding is so indecent to people. Maybe just don't look if it makes you uncomfortable.

Thirsty. Mom, not baby.

No R13, the baby was born in July so they're not even a year old. One year is the minimum recommended amount of time to breastfeed.

Excuse me!!

More worried about the kid zoom-crawling over the edge in that mountain top yard.

I can't hate it either. There's something about it that's fun. I don't get the extreme reaction thi bare breasts either. There's cultures that functioned just fine without having a bra on/ covering them up. If the people had the reactions our culture does, oh my, they wouldn't have gotten a single thing done.

And as much as there's a factor with social media used for attention, there's a ton of people looking to be nasty just because they can. That old saying sometimes applies "if you don't have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all".

File this firmly under: I don't give on ounce of a fuck.

For me, the cringe is that idiotic "look at me" pose. You're feeding your fucking kid. Great. Honestly, I'd laugh if she fell over. She and Hilaria can fuck off

It’s one more nail in the Olympic’s coffin. So fucking tone deaf.

You feed your baby with those titties whenever needed and if they give you shit, you do bendy shit. Yeah.

Six weeks is the MINIMUM amount of time recommended for breastfeeding, not a year for fuck's sake.

If she wants to stand on her head while breastfeeding her kid in the privacy of her own backyard, that's fine, nobody knows and nobody cares. When she decided to make a spectacle of herself and her child then she invited trolling and controversy. She was attention-seeking and she succeeded. Spare me "motherhood is pure" we've seen some "pure" motherfucking mothers and yours is not a true statement.

Standing on your head like a fucking idiot doesn't make you more of a mother. It just makes you desperate for attention. I have no problem with mothers feeding their kids, but the fucking VIRTUE SIGNALING. Fuck off.

No one recommends just six weeks, R24. Six months, yes. A year is even better for strengthening the immune system.

Everyone posts on Instagram because they're thirsty for attention, that's the whole point. If she wants to feed her baby while doing it, I don't give a shit.

Very beautiful. Remind me of old Slovanian trick which is feed the baby from bottle sticked in the poosey.

If old fucks gave you shit about your tits, you’d rub their noses in it, too.

This is hilarious.

Feeding while skateboarding. Yeah, that sounds comfortable. When this kid falls over or gets hurt during Extreme Breastfeeding...your fault, supermom

Nobody cares if you breastfeed in public. But we do get tired of attention whoring from mothers like this.

It's a great photo and she has an awesome body.

It would be a hoot to have a pic like that of me and my mom.

When I was a child, years ago in the1960s there was a mother from Europe in the neighborhood who rode her bike great distances every day. It was also rumored that she sunbathed nude in her backyard.

She was of great fascination for everyone, kids and parents alike. They were a nice family with good kids so it really wasn't a big deal, just really interesting.

No, R26, the minimum recommended time to boost the kid's immunity is six weeks. You can stretch those udders out longer if you want, but scientifically it's six weeks to get the recommended benefits.

Six months to a year? It's for the mothers not the children.

Nope R32, both the World Health Organization and the American Academy of Pediatrics say that babies should be breastfed exclusively for 6 months, with a combination of solids and breastmilk for 2 years or more. And research clearly shows that babies get antibodies from breastmilk for at least a year.

I don't know where you're getting six weeks but that's nothing. I'll trust the research.

I don’t know what the big deal is. I do that with my bf but with his dick instead of a tit.

Is she going to be one of those creepy bitches who breastfeed their kids until they're 5?

Attention whoring tit Nazi

Concerntrolls giving her more attention. It's a mildly interesting sorta cool picture.

I just love how it makes grizzled queens vomit. Put your dirty pillows away!!!!! Have you no decency?

I don't know what the purpose of this spectacle is. To how how uninhibited she is about breastfeeding her whelp? Anyway, it's stupid and gross.

The olympics kicked a woman out for breastfeeding her infant, R39.

Why didn’t I think of that?

"I NEED ATTENTION"

I think it's funny that R28 & R38 think that it's the olds who hate this. The olds grew up with women feeding their babies in public, I would see it on the bus when I was a kid 60 years ago, it was just something people took as part of life, at least where I grew up.

That boy is too old to still be breastfeeding. He's like 4 or 5.

'Put 'em away, Judy!'

[quote]Six months to a year? It's for the mothers not the children.

That's incorrect.

It's 6 months minimum.

Then up to a year while also feeding the child some solid foods. After a year you should stop.

The baby is 10 months old so it's not weird that it's breastfeeding.

(WHO actually tells women they can go up to 2 years while also introducing solid foods after 6 months. Up to a year is a general guideline though.)

Beyond that the photo gave me a chuckle so good on her.

[quote]I just love how it makes grizzled queens vomit. Put your dirty pillows away!!!!! Have you no decency?

The majority of us aren’t grossed out by the breastfeeding, but are grossed out by the desperate attention seeking. And if you read the comments under the Daily Fail article, many women are saying the same thing.

Creepy as fuque!

I’m sure the kid will love when he’s older and the boys at school end up teasing him about this picture. Do people ever think about that when they overshare?

There’s nothing about breastfeeding while standing on your head that says “motherhood.”

"I'm quirky!!! Love me!!!!!!"

These weirdo fraus and their bizarre breast feeding obsession. They love to post this stupid shit for attention. Plenty of normal women breast feed their kids everyday and don’t feel the need to talk about it.

That child is at least 20.

Disgraceful.

I thought it was a silly, fun picture, but now I understand that it marks the death of all proper societal mores.

What are humans but a vast quantity of varied opinions? Let's chatter about it and move on to the next one.

So many opinions are nothing more than subtle manipulation, to get others to agree and make ourselves feel better.

Yuck

Ew, R56, that's creepy!

R57 “I love my child, I only want what’s best for her! Before you know it we’ll be trying on bras together!”

This one more suitable for DLers.

There's snow in Australia?

Come on, jealous bitches, if any of us had a body that good we'd be putting mostly-nude or nude pictures on social media every hour!

Excuse me! It is CHESTfeeding. That other word is very triggering to our trans and non-binary sisters and brothers and others. Using the b***** word is literal violence!

Do👏 better👏and👏be👏better!

R19 that's the first thing I noticed too.

I've never known any women who breastfed past the kid getting teeth. They all said "ouch, fuck it" and went to bottles. One girl almost had her nipple bitten off. Needed stitches and everything.

"Extended breastfeeding" is something that a mother does because she likes getting her nipples sucked and wants her child to continue to do it so she can continue to derive the pleasure of getting her nipples sucked a lot. Any child old enough to eat solid food does NOT need to derive sustenance from its mother's breasts. So "extended breastfeeding" is solely from the mother's benefit. I myself think it's child abuse to have a child keep sucking its mother's tits. I think that child will probably end up with some pretty severe mental problems.

In "The Color Purple" Celie muses about her "little lost babies" who she used to suckle. She said it would give her "a little shiver...sometimes a big shiver." And that the best thing about having babies "was feedin' em." How gross.

So she wanted attention and she got it. Can't cry that it didn't please 100% of the people.

It’s bad enough she’s shirtless, but must the child be naked as well?

IIRC, Torah was a devout Mormon & was kinda judgy of her more liberal sports mates…

I think it’s a cute photo.

It's a still from the classic film Attention Whorah! Whorah! Whorah!
