Mum's Can't Get Enough Of This Breastfeeding Art App

Plus, how to create your own!

December 19 2016

A new breastfeeding trend is going viral for obvious reasons: It's for a great cause.

 

Using the app, PicsArt, mums have been sharing pictures on social media of their children while breastfeeding using the tree of life filter, adding the hashtags #normalisebreastfeeding; and the results are beautiful. 

 

Sydney Mum, Sarah Little, said that after carrying her son n the womb for so long, "it's incredible to extend the biological connection through breastfeeding. And the tree demonstrates that."

 

"We are connected and together just like before," she added.  "It's cool too because, the placenta that feeds your baby is also a tree of life."

Loving how these have been flooding social media over the past several days! Here's mine with my oldest when he was just a few months old. I was able to breastfeed him past 18 months, several months into my second pregnancy with his little brother! #treeoflife #breastisbest #normalizebreastfeeding 👌

I usually never share intimate photos such as this, but this campaign of mothers coming together to post a #brelfie of themselves nourishing their beautiful babies struck a cord in me as a fellow breastfeeding mom. I breastfed Fiona for two years combined with bottle feeding. Now, I exclusively breastfeed Quincy going strong for 8 months now ever since he was born. It's not always easy and comes with it's fair share of challenges and exhaustion. It's supply and demand. It is 24/7. It is tiring. It is selfless. No matter how you nourish your kids, all mom's are doing fantastic. But this is also in an effort to normalize breastfeeding as it is one of the most beautiful things a mother can do for their baby for no matter how long, how short or at all. Through breastfeeding both of my babies, I have formed a bond with them that can never be broken. #NormalizeBreastfeeding #TreeOfLife

The app has also been used by mums who bottlefeed their baby's.

"As a mum who couldn't breastfeed after getting golden staph in both breasts! I absolutely love this!!!" one mum said in response to @ryanandcass on Instagram.
