I'm just going to leave this here...

Discuss should the photo warrant discussion. 

[kistjenn]

I don't even know what to say

[imimahoney]

I imagine her saying "namaste bitches".

[dojo]

I kind of feel that a nursing session means it's ok to break pose.

[mscatra]

Um...why??

[sandj82110]

If I could get into this position my infant would certainly take full advantage of the situation, lol.

[joyhart02]

To each their own I guess??

Multitasker.

I'm all for normalizing breastfeeding, but it has gotten rather AWish in some cases.

This was my exact thought.

What if a rabid wolf came flying out of the ferns? She's unprepared. No situational awareness.

Attention.

Au contrare!  She just happened to be doing yoga poses when her son happened to want to nurse and there happened to be someone else aptly waiting with a camera.

But how and why would you even think to set up a shot like that?! I mean, imagine the thinking behind it. I can't!

You officially occupy a bigger spot in my heart.

It feels so set up...like, "hey this would make a great picture to show on my blog/fb!" and that seems AWish and squicky.

Yeah, this isn't something the kid took advantage of. This was, "I want to show off a) that I can get into this pose; b) that I still nurse; c) that my kid is in cloth diapers."

Omg seriously, I just spit out my dinner. Slow clap.

[honeybee503]

C'mon guys, she's just trying to burn more calories. Haven't you ever nursed while running on the treadmill, or lifting weights?

I'm going to go out and say that this is not normal breastfeeding.

But obviously, she is better at natural living than all of us.

[creamsiclechica]

Truthfully, if I could do this, I might AW the shit out of it too. No way am I going to bash it. I think it's a pretty beautiful shot.

[fusion]

my boobs would be whacking me in the eye or something if I could even get into that posture topless, so I'll pass

[Deleted]

I can't imagine what went into this, like who thinks of this idea? There's no way it randomly happened.

Yeah, this isn't something the kid took advantage of. This was, "I want to show off a) that I can get into this pose; b) that I still nurse; c) that my kid is in cloth diapers." 

But what's wrong with wanting to show off those things? I'm confused. I mean I get why people think it's ridiculous to some people, but why is showing these things off wrong if you are proud?

I guess I need to know the context. If it's like selfie's blog where she takes digs at other parenting and over exaggerates for endorsements, okay, fine. But just a mom blog or an IG photo gone viral? Why is that bad?

Well you can show off still nursing and cloth diapers by nursing in a regular position on the couch. I wouldn't think that was weird. It's just there's no way she feeds her kid like that on a normal day.

[kdrake8]

I gasped.

[Deleted]

This is more real life lol

[badgermom]

Nothing "wrong" with it, but it feels super contrived. I nurse. I do yoga. Not at the same time. Yoga is my time. Nursing is my special time with my child. They just don't mesh is my world.

[creamsiclechica]

I'm shocked I'm the lone dissenter in here, lol. But what if she does nurse while doing yoga? I'm not saying this isn't an opportunist picture, but isn't that what basically 90% of instagram is? You AW stuff you think you rock at or enjoy. People takes pictures of food, clothes, gym workouts, whatever. So she took a picture of this, and she's proud of it. I don't have an issue with it.

Does it have a condescending caption?

I'm not going to go so far as to there is something "wrong" with it, but it does feel very over the top.  

When I break it down I'm left with this:  She can do an inversion yoga pose, I think that's amazing.  She nurses her kid, good for her.  Her kid wears cloth diapers, it's her choice and I support it.  It's just when you add it all together in one photo it almost seems absurd and detracts from the individual things she might be proud of.
