In the United States, it is a legal right for women to breastfeed in public. But there are people who continue to think that it is not a thing that can be done in public.

Chrissy Teigen:
Known for her candid approach to motherhood, Chrissy Teigen has been vocal about breastfeeding and has shared moments on social media.
Halsey
Halsey chose the perfect time to share this sweet nursing shot: World Breastfeeding Week. “We arrived just in time” the singer captioned the photo, in which tiny two-week-old Ender is dining al fresco, and included the #worldbreastfeedingweek hashtag.
The 26-year-old looks happy and comfortable nursing in the great outdoors, and Ender’s little puppy pants are definitely tugging at our ovaries.

It looks SO DANG COZY. Alanis has been quite open about her experience with postpartum depression in the past so its wonderful to see her so happy in this rare snap of her entire family.
