Elle Australia has published a landmark cover, featuring model Nicole Trunfio breastfeeding her baby. She follows in the footsteps of Angelina Jolie, who posed for the cover of W Magazine while breastfeeding one of her twins in 2008.
Many celebrity moms like Miranda Kerr, Gisele Bundchen, Olivia Munn and Pink have posted breastfeeding photos to social media, contributing to the #normalizebreastfeeding movement, which started trending this week due to Trunfio’s cover.
She took to Facebook to post the cover image and wrote, “There is nothing more powerful and beautiful than motherhood. The last thing I want to do is be controversial, so please take this for what it is, let us #normalizebreastfeeding.”
The supermodel continued, “There is nothing worse than a mother that is judged for feeding her hungry child in public,” thanking Elle “for being so bold and making such an encouraging, positive and healthy statement.”
The cover wasn’t planned to feature Trunfio breastfeeding her son, Zion. Instead the image came forth when Zion needed a feeding during the shoot and editor in chief Justine Cullen "saw how beautiful they looked.”
"This wasn’t a contrived situation: Zion needed a feed, Nicole gave it to him, and when we saw how beautiful they looked we simply moved her onto the set,” Cullen said. “It was a completely natural moment that resulted in a powerful picture.”
The cover, however, will only be offered to Elle subscribers so it will be seen by most online.
There is nothing more powerful and beautiful than motherhood. The last thing I want to do is be controversial, so please...
