Storm in a D-cup: bring on the “extreme” breastfeeding
The infamous naked breastfeeding yoga mamma has had to defend the image, claiming it wasn't staged. And she has support, 'extreme breastfeeding'... it's a thing.
Who remembers this amazing photo of Amy Woodruff and daughter Naia, shared on Amy’s blog -Daughter of the Sun, that went viral back in 2011?
The image at the time got mixed reviews. Not all of them pleasant. It’s getting some fresh attention and Amy is once again explaining that the image wasn’t staged.
Amy explains: “The truth is we were living on a small community in Hawaii where our land was clothing optional and yoga was/is a necessity! I was just doin’ my daily flow when the little sweet pea came to sneak a suckle. Papa had her out in the grass with him and she just couldn’t resist! This happens all the time by the way. When a breast is out and baby is around, they are going to try and get it anyway they can!”
It seems she’s right. Women have always had to feed their babies, it’s not always going to happen where you had planned, that’s obvious. But now, thanks to images like Amy’s ‘Extreme breastfeeding’ is being celebrated on the web in a big way.
The Breastfeeding Project, a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to providing breastfeeding education and support, has collected a series of ‘Extreme Nursing’ images on their site. Let’s just say, these images make me long to breastfeed even more than I did before.
Karen Andriola from The Breastfeeding Project told Kidspot: “The idea behind the extreme breastfeeding gallery was just to generate some excitement about breastfeeding and to have fun. We all had pictures of ourselves breastfeeding in funny or silly locations and we had all experienced the “breastfeeding gymnastics” that go with breastfeeding a toddler. We ran a competition where mums sent us their extreme breastfeeding pictures and then we had our fans vote for their favourite on Facebook. “Suck it Cancer” was the winner. We are planning to run a second competition in September, fans can like us on Facebook to keep up to date on the details.”
No excuses!
“In the middle of shooting photos for my blog post about working out with your baby my daughter got rather fussy. Killed two birds with one stone: took care of my girl’s needs and worked out my core muscles!”
Planking Mamma, you are my new hero!

Also Zara, I hate my D/DD cups. I'd love to go back to my pre-pregnancy Bs.
I'll never be a D either. My glorious pregnancy and nursing boobs just fill a B.

I'm with ya on the grossing me out thing but to each their own. My cousin is due with another and had been trying to explain to her little girl about baby things and she wasn't grasping the part about feeding the baby. Well her girl was curious when she saw me feeding H and explained to her that mama's make special food for the baby and that only the baby could have it because that was all they were able to eat. This was the end of the story. Her little girl totally understands now that BF'ing is only food for tiny babies and not her.
Anyways awesome link!
This is in no way NOT offensive when you word it the way you did.
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste,
It all revolves around you.
