Breastfeeding is a beautiful and natural thing, yet many mothers have been shamed for doing it in public. That’s why National Breastfeeding Month was created in the U.S. to combat the stigma surrounding the act and to create a community of support.

For even more awareness, August 1 to 7 is World Breastfeeding Week this year.

To celebrate the beauty of breastfeeding this August, we’ve rounded up 23 adorable #Brelfies from Instagram. These photos show the sweet, silly and sometimes messy side of breastfeeding, but most importantly, the loving bond between mother and child.
