Chrissy Teigen, Queen of Relatable Motherhood Posts, has enlightened us on many aspects of becoming a mother twice over. She goes all out to not spare us any of the details, from her tweet confirming “postpartum life is 90% better when you don’t rip to your butthole” (no, you’re not alone with that too-real cringe) and taking to her Instagram Stories to show off her unfiltered stretchmarks. She’s also been an advocate for normalizing breastfeeding, with posts discussing her “milky” boobs and Legend’s ‘gram of her pumping milk on the way to a Father’s Day dinner.
Teigen was doing the good work once again on Saturday, with an Instagram post showing her breastfeeding baby Miles, who’s coming up on two months old. The photo shows her seemingly au naturel on a chaise lounge, breastfeeding Miles, who’s covered with a baby blanket. She has a little helper on the edge of the frame, too: little Luna, who’s coming over with a blanket to cover…her babydoll, who Teigen is pretending to feed too.
“Luna making me feed her babydoll so I guess I have twins now,” she captioned the post.
Most of her fans identified with the pic—and thanked her for continuing to use her huge social media following to normalize breast-feeding.
“Mind-boggling how something so natural, pure and beautiful could possibly be offensive… #MommaPower,” one wrote.

“Thank you for showing yourself breast-feeding. It’s so important that women who are able breast-feed their children. Our society is so ridiculously hung up on breasts, that we discourage publicly doing one of the most natural things possible. You are a lovely role model,” wrote another.
There were also rightful comments about her perfection of the art of the messy bun.

However, one person was none too pleased.
“Christ in a hand basket,” the Twitter user wrote. “Menstruating, childbirth and sex are natural, too, but that doesn’t mean I want to see pics of it and/or celebrities like @chrissyteigen taking a bath or nursing. We get it.”
And Teigen, of course, had a great response—offering us a new life mantra in the process.
“I don’t care to see grainy fireworks, coachella selfies or infinity pool pics but i let people live. calm your tits and scroll on by,” she offered.

Let’s repeat for effect: “Calm your tits and scroll on by.”
