Naked breastfeeding yoga mom photo goes viral
Woodruff said on her blog that she never guessed the photo
would go viral. A mom who gained notoriety with the attachment parenting set
after she was photographed practicing yoga naked while her daughter Naia
breastfed, has revealed the story behind the iconic image.
Amy woodruff, who lives in a clothing-optional commune in Hawaii, was upside down and naked when a hungry Naia crawled over.
“I was
just doin’ my daily flow when the little sweet pea came to sneak a suckle. Papa
had her out in the grass with him and she just couldn’t resist!” she told parenting blog, Baby Center. “This happens all the time by the way,” she added.
"When I posted the photo I had
no idea it would be shared the way it was. There was no showing off intended,
nor did I send this photo out to any websites to gain attention. A few close
friends shared it on Facebook as a beautiful photo of a mama connecting with
her child. It was shared again from there and so on and so forth. "
When the photo did make the rounds
on the Internet, Woodruff said she was overwhelmed with the reaction.
"The yoga community and earth
mamas loved it! Women who didn’t seem to enjoy breastfeeding or more of the
conservative crowd thought it was the weirdest thing and just couldn’t wrap
their heads around it," Woodruff said.
“I
enjoyed hearing all sides of the spectrum as it reminded me that we are all
different and if anything it may have opened the eyes and hearts for some who
didn’t think multitasking to that level was possible! No regrets about posting
the photo whatsoever.”
