I happen to love this photo and the caption that follows. “Was on the way out the door but then mommy duty called… Everything stops for him! #breastisbest #natureisbeautiful.”
Motherhood is such an amazing journey. One I wouldn’t trade for the world. I enjoyed being pregnant as well as delivering my two beautiful daughters into the world. It continued to be a blessing as I nurtured them and provided guidance as they continue to grow. That nurturing for me also came in the form of breast feeding. I wasn’t able to do it for an extended period of time, but I found there was nothing greater than the bound that is built during this time. This is exactly why I love the photo of model Ashley Nicole breast feeding her son. Ashley is the girlfriend of Philip Wheeler, Linebacker for the Miami Dolphins.
There was almost an instant uproar the moment Ashley posted this photo on her Instagram. There were 2,873 comments with over 750 liking the photo. The comments ranged from the photo being too sexy and inappropriate to questioning how you breastfeed standing up. Philip, quite naturally, immediately came to Ashley’s defense. It’s amazing how people can take a beautiful photo and turn it into something else. I think people look for things to complain about and ways to be hurtful to others. Breastfeeding is natural, normal and beautiful. God designed the breast for the purpose of nursing a baby. Yeah, as busy moms you may catch us on the go, but motherhood always comes first. I was quite pleased to see that In the midst of the negative remarks also came a flood of supporters.
I love that Ashley is enjoying motherhood and not afraid to show the world. She’s also gained quite a new following from men if course who see her beauty. But also of women who can relate and who are proud to call themselves a mom.
BMWK, what are your thoughts on Ashley’s photo?
In the age of social media, we need to respect ourselves by having some boundaries. Each woman has to draw their own line to protect what is special, intimate, and/or sacred. “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.” Matthew 7:6
I don’t have a real issue with this photo and I can appreciate “mommy duty”, but I somewhat question why this pic was shared. If someone just so happens to take a pic while a mother is breast feeding then so be it, but I’m torn on this anticipated looking photo with pose.

I’d men nursed it would be happening everywhere and there would be no issue. Just sayin.
The only objection/question I have about this picture is the same one I have with 99% of the stuff shared online or via text. And that’s “Why?” Just why dude? Why is it necessary to share every single thing we do with scores of people we don’t even talk to or know like that. “Pics or it didn’t happen!” From my experience if there ARE pics, it DIDN’T happen. You ever been out with someone snappin pics and uploading instagram slides every five minutes? They’re not there. They’re not present. We’ve become a very narcissistic society. A candid shot is one thing, but everything is so set up, so posed so “quick take a pic of me while I look off into the distance”.
She didn’t need to share the photo. I am tired of every woman who breastfeeds thinking that she is the first one to do it, and showing people just to get props for it. NOBODY CARES. You are not the first woman to do it, not everyone thinks that this is beautiful. Do it in private. She wore sunglasses to emphasize the beauty of this, or was it a chance to solicit emotional responses from people while attention seeking?
