Breastfeeding is a wonderful way for mothers to feed their children. But on the other hand, one must remember that it is not the only way for a mom to feed her kids, and some ladies are simply unable to feed them like that.

But as far as breastfeeding goes, there are lots of people who sing its praises. That is because moms and babies can both benefit from doing it. Some women do it because it helps their little ones stay healthy.

Lots of well-known celebrities have been very vocal about why they chose to nurse their babies. Here are just a few of them.

10 Chrissy Teigen

Chrissy Teigen is no stranger to causing controversy when it comes to breastfeeding, and she does not care what anyone thinks about how she feeds her children. The famous mother of two doesn’t exactly keep her parenting methods private.

Chrissy once posted an image of herself nursing online, and she was met with some very negative comments. But since she does not let that phase her, she decided to post another photo of it, but she made that one a bit more interesting. She posed in the nude, proving that she really doesn’t care what anyone thinks about what she does.

9 Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi was recently in some hot water, but it was not actually about her choosing to breastfeed her child. She recently found herself receiving lots of negative backlash when she posted a picture of herself on social media.

The problem with the image was that it showed her drinking wine, which is not something recommended for any mother who's nursing; that may not be healthy for the baby. The fact that she happened to be holding the baby in the image only made the reaction worse. As one would imagine, she didn’t receive much positive feedback from her followers after posting that image.

8 Alyssa Milano

There have been many times when Alyssa Milano has proved that she supports women who choose to breastfeed. The former Charmed star has even been known to post images of herself doing it, which is something many celebrity mothers have done. She posted a photo of herself nursing her daughter, Elizabella.

She responded rather quickly, and of course she defended herself and her decision to nurse her son at the event.
