Bride Who Breastfed Her Child During Wedding Ceremony Has A Word For Mothers

This beautiful 22-year-old mother shared photo of her breastfeeding her son on her wedding day and wrote:

 

“I enjoy nursing my son and I made sure when I chose my wedding dress I would be able to nurse throughout my entire night,” she said.

 

“And I was able to. So I just want to share with women that no matter who doubts you or who turns their noses up to breastfeeding that it can be done. No one should feel embarrassed about feeding their child in the most natural way”

 

This may be a subtle reiteration of the statement made by Pope Francis some days ago about breastfeeding babies in public where the Pope told nursing mothers to Feel free to breastfeed “hungry” babies in church.

 

He went on to say; “The benefits of breastfeeding include providing optimal nutrition and an immune system boost for babies, while helping mothers bond with infants and speeding maternal weight loss after birth.”

 

In many countries around the world, however, women are still widely discouraged from breastfeeding, especially when they are in public.

 

See Mother Who Is Still Breast-Feeding Her 6-Year-Old Daughter

Denise Sumpter’s 6-year-old daughter Belle is still breast-feeding and Denise says she’ll continue do to so until Belle decides it’s time to stop.

“I’ll feed Belle as long as she asks,” the 44-year-old mother told Daily Mail.

 Belle doesn’t rely solely on Denise’s milk anymore. The little girl nurses anywhere from twice a day to once a week. Sometimes she’ll join her 18-month-old brother, Beau in a feeding. Other times she’ll latch one when she’s looking for some one-on-one time with her mother.

“I don’t think there’s anything weird about it. I feed both children on demand, whenever they want it,” Denise says.

Denise, a Ph.D. student studying ancient science in London, credits her “mama’s milk” to the vigor of her kids. She says, “My children have hardly been ill. Beau came down with something the other day and because I nursed him through it he was better in 24 hours. I’ve had similar with Belle. If they’re upset it calms them. It helps them sleep.
