A captivating image of a mother of six doing squats while breastfeeding has taken the internet by storm. In a world where we often feel pressed for time, this moment has left many feeling a bit inadequate.
“I caught Mia multitasking today in public. #breastercising,” Australian fitness enthusiast Tom Harper shared on social media last week. He humorously added, “I don’t understand why breastfeeding in public is such a big deal. It’s not gross at all. In fact, we need more equality when it comes to breastfeeding. If more women felt free to nurse openly, we might see a decrease in substance abuse and other issues.” While Tom might want to reconsider a career in comedy, he and his partner are undeniably committed.
Just two weeks postpartum, Mia Harper is already engaging in her fitness routine. Yet, as is common in the parenting world, her choices have attracted criticism online. Some commenters have questioned her focus on exercising, suggesting she should dedicate more attention to her children, while others have accused her of seeking validation.
“Honestly, I think it’s a bit self-indulgent. Is it a lack of confidence, or does she feel pressured to look perfect? She put herself out there, so I can’t help but judge,” one user remarked. “Breastfeeding while exercising? I nursed my three children and always believed they deserved my undivided attention, whether in public or at home.”
Mia responded to the backlash, clarifying her stance. “I breastfeed six times a day. I’m not exercising during every feeding. When I do, I’m also keeping an eye on the kids riding their scooters and playing outside. I’m just doing squats and lunges, which are simple to perform while feeding. At night, we relax and bond during feedings.” Her children appear vibrant and happy, as does she, showcasing a family enjoying fitness. There’s nothing wrong with that, internet.
