I have no problem with breastfeeding, but I do think some people take it to a whole new level–like this yoga mom making headlines. Amy Woodruff of Hawaii lives in a clothing-optional area and by the looks of it she's comfortable in her own skin enough to multi-task by breastfeeding her kid naked and doing yoga at the same time.
If this sounds slightly bizarre to you, then wait till you see the ACTUAL picture!

The image was actually taken in 2011, and since then, Woodruff has been weaning her daughter Naia, but the picture went viral after she posted it on her blog Daughter of the Sun. During an interview with BabyCenter, the mom says that this wasn't abnormal and that Naia always fed during her "morning flow" exercises. It just happened that her husband captured the image in perfect time.
She told the site, "When a breast is out and baby is around, they are going to try and get it anyway they can! I have been blogging for years now and this photo was just a simple share of a beautiful captured moment." Although she says the yoga community loved the picture of her doing a nude headstand while breastfeeding, she has received backlash for it as well.
Woodruff says of the people offended by it that they are usually the moms who didn't enjoy breastfeeding and are conservative. However, she has no regrets about posting the picture and after traveling all over since her 20's she says the family plans on moving from Southern California to New Zealand because she wants a simple life with her own land to come home to.
Well, to each his own, but I'm pretty sure that those who didn't take well to the picture aren't just conservatives. Not everyone is down with this lifestyle and it's good that she acknowledges that some people will not agree with the picture. I understand she's comfortable being nude in the confines of where she lives, but posting that picture online seems attention seeking. I have to say, I DO admire her strength to be able to hold a yoga pose long enough to breastfeed her kid!
