Yaya Dacosta Joins The #NormalizeNursing Movement

“American’s Next Top Model” and star of the critically-acclaimed film “Lee Daniels’ The Butler,” Yaya DaCosta (Alafia) has joined in on the #normalizenursing movement that aims to make natural acts like breastfeeding more widely accepted.

Yaya posted pictures of her breastfeeding her baby on her Instagram and, as you can imagine, stirred up the masses in the process.

“i know i’m mad late, but i haven’t been on the computer much lately. just heard about the uproar over @ash3nicole pic & had to post a copycat photo in solidarity. hope you don’t mind, beautiful sistren. i’m so proud of you and stand by you! #breastisbest #whattheyaremadefor #getoverit #mamasunite #movement,” she wrote proudly showing off her “mommy duties” as she called them.

Supermodel Gisele Bundchen and football wife Ashley Nicole sparked similar controversy when they posted images breastfeeding as well. The ladies have received backlash from critics who find breastfeeding offensive. The primary function of the breast is to feed an infant. Breastfeeding is natural and necessary.

Do you think women shouldn’t breastfeed in public?
