Public Breastfeeding Stigma
Public breastfeeding is 100% legal in the entire United States, except for Idaho. Despite it being legal, it certainly does not prevent millions of new and young mothers from facing all sorts of harassment just by performing the act. There are even institutions that ask mothers to leave the area, and some displeased individuals even try to force them out of any public area. You could say that there’s a degree of stigma about the topic today.
Tori managed to use her public platform to point out all of the injustice that young mothers face. By doing so, Tori hopes that she’ll be able to raise awareness about the topic. It’s certainly reasonable to believe that a famous celebrity like Tori will be able to ultimately make a difference.
Completely Natural Act
Tori then realized that the awkward feelings she had while breastfeeding in public were a result of public pressure. She certainly had trouble figuring out why it was frowned upon, and there were a ton of opposing opinions about breastfeeding in public as a natural act. It certainly was a stark contrast to Tori’s maternal instinct that would often prioritize taking care of her child.
When Tori decided to speak out and voice her opinion on the topic, she became the voice for millions of mothers that struggled with the issue. Before she spoke out, those mothers didn’t have their voices heard, and they credit Tori for empathizing with them and paying attention. It’s safe to say that Tori was more than happy to embrace it.
Everything Falling Into Place
Tori provided her fans with several updates about little Jackson, and she shared a ton of positive things. At first, he was doing quite well, and it wasn’t long until an adorable baby became a cute toddler. All of social media waited patiently for each update, and it was certainly a delight to see Jackson grow up right before their eyes.
Tori was extremely proud as a result of her son’s growth, and she was always excited to share news about Jackson. Without a doubt, we can credit his blissful growth to Tori, but she shared more positive news other than Jackson. She also made it a point to share some good news about herself, and how motherhood became relatively easy with experience.
Right to Choose
When Tori decided to voice out her opinion on the hotly debated topic of breastfeeding, she did so in a very courageous and honest manner. As a result, she received a ton of positive reactions, and those reactions were just a result and validation that her approach was the right one. Millions of women certainly felt empowered to take the same “case-by-case” approach, and they did what was best for them and their children.
Besides empowering women and mothers, Tori also deserves credit for avoiding choosing a certain side. Tori says that all mothers should have a right to choose and that each choice should be respected whether they prefer to breastfeed in public or not. It’s certainly not every day that you’d see someone famous use their platform for good!
Experts Pitch In
As we said, Tori deserves full credit for her bold and open approach to the highly-debated subject of breastfeeding. As a result, millions of women felt brave enough and empowered to share their own thoughts, experiences, and even expertise. You could say that the trend contributed to more-than-civilized discussions, and it paved the way for well-made arguments.
A good example was when a nurse, who had experience in women’s health services, decided to voice out her opinion on the topic. Her view revolved around the fact that several mothers were being pressured and pushed to breastfeeding by the medical culture. What the medical culture failed to see was that new mothers were facing and struggling with more issues, including postpartum depression.
Setting Positive Example
Tori made her voice heard, and she did not just open the dialogue about the different issues that new mothers faced. She also helped strangers across the world in the process, and by doing so, she helped others find their own voice. Without a doubt, she reached out to millions of people, reaching out and empowering those who were very close to her.
You could say that speaking out was Tori’s investment in empowering women. As a result, she was able to inspire Jeremy’s wife, Aubrey, who was able to raise concerns herself. Aubrey was concerned about becoming a mother while managing her business at the same time. She was able to do it on Instagram, and people chimed in and provided deeper insight and advice.
Finding The Balance
As she made her plea for advice and insight on social media, Audrey hoped to find the perfect balance between motherhood and becoming a successful entrepreneur. She certainly wondered if there was a way to fulfill her duties as a mother while overlooking her business investments at the same time.Audrey is an extremely accomplished businesswoman who engaged herself in several business ventures.
One of her ventures is her own fashion line, and she also offers marriage counseling. Besides those, Audrey and her husband, Jeremy, both run a website called Beating 50 Percent, which aims to aid Christian couples in maintaining healthy relationships. It’s certainly not everyone’s cup of tea, but you can’t deny that Jeremy and Audrey placed a ton of effort into their business and were able to make it work.
