Pink
Not one to shy away from showing her true colors on social media, Pink recently shared a multitasking photo breastfeeding her 6-month-old son Jameson while getting her hair and makeup done — but that isn't the first time she's done so.
The rocker's husband, Carey Hart, shared a snap of Pink breastfeeding their firstborn, daughter Willow, while out to dinner in Paris in 2012. Later in 2016, she shared another photo of breastfeeding Willow for National Breastfeeding Week. "In honor of #nationalbreastfeedingweek2016 I proudly post this photo of a very HEALTHY, NATURAL act between mother and child," she wrote.

Tori Roloff shared a photo breastfeeding her and Little People Big World star Zach Roloff's newborn son Kyle earlier this summer, writing that breastfeeding has been the hardest part of being a mother.
"It was something I did not expect," she wrote on Instagram. "I just figured it would come naturally because it's what nature intended, [but] I was so wrong."
The 25-year-old said that she and her son got so "frustrated with one another in the beginning," that it took almost every ounce of her courage to not quit.
"I realized, however, I was being selfish," she said. "It was an inconvenience and took FOREVER, but I was blessed enough to be able to [breastfeed]."
"I feel for those mamas that can't breastfeed. I get asked at all my appointments how [breastfeeding] is going and I couldn't imagine how that would make the women who physically can't feel."
She also wrote that she, too, is fed up with the stigma of breastfeeding.
"I still feel awkward in public when I feed my baby," she wrote. "Why should I? I'm providing for my child."

Not afraid to stand up to mommy- or body-shamers, Jessie James Decker shared an adorable photo breastfeeding her and NFL husband Eric Decker's son, Eric Jr., in 2015.
"Love being a mommy and feeding my sweet boy," she wrote in the photo.
But as candid as the country music crooner is, she admits that social media trolls have influenced the way she interacts with fans online.
"You know, it is kind of hard sometimes because you feel like you have to filter what you post in some ways," Decker told E! News.
"I'll never post a picture of my kids in their car seats anymore because I'll get schooled on how I'm not doing it correctly or it turns into this argument," she admitted. "I'm not going to post pictures of them in the backseat eating their snacks. It's not worth it anymore—you ruined it!"
prevnextBlake Lively
Blake Lively shared a photo breastfeeding her and Ryan Reynolds' first daughter, James, in 2015. While James was cut out of the photo, Lively seemed to want to share her "perky" breasts, captioning the photo, "The PERKS of breastfeeding."
Since then, she and Reynolds have welcomed another daughter, Ines, into the world, and when asked by E! News how she got back into shape after baby number two, Lively said that she's learned to love her postpartum body .
"It's all a process. You know after the second kid it's really different. So this is not my normal body, but I like it."
She continued, "I'm learning to love my body in every iteration and I think that's hard for women, and so I learned a lot."

Brie Bella welcomed her first child, daughter Birdie Joe, with husband Daniel Bryan earlier this year, and about a week postpartum took to Instagram to describe breastfeeding as "exhausting."
"Literally my most favorite thing ever but wow it's exhausting.....but I wouldn't change it for the world," the WWE star captioned a selfie in which she looks tired but content.
Later, she told Entertainment Tonight that the love she feels for her baby while breastfeeding is the best part of being a mother. "The breastfeeding, that bond, and honestly, this was the first morning where she didn't wake up to us, but when she wakes up, and her little eyes open, and they see you, this smile... and babies have innocent smiles, they don't fake anything. They let you know exactly how they're feeling," she said.

"What would I do without this beauty squad after the 15 hours flying and only 3 hours of sleep," she wrote in the 2013 photo, adding the hashtag #gettingready.
Given that the supermodel and her kids eat a natural, plant-based diet, it's not surprising that breastfeeding was important to Gisele.

Coming from my childhood without a mother and an absentee father has made me dig deep and define what it is to me to be a mommy... I pray I am the mother to sweet Batelli that I dream my mother would have been to me."

The 31-year-old apparently made a habit of bottling breast milk on set during the early days of her motherhood, and many followers applauded her for making it happen as a working mother.
However, Murgatroyd's most unique post might have been a selfie in February of 2017, which showed her white shirt soaked with an unexpected leak. "Oh the joys of motherhood," she wrote.
