'DWTS' Pro Gets Real About Breastfeeding Boob Leakage

She's all about that #momlife.

Peta Murgatroyd isn’t afraid to share the messy reality of parenthood.

On Monday, the “Dancing with the Stars” pro posted a mirror selfie on Instagram that captures one of the pitfalls of breastfeeding. 

”Oh the joys of motherhood,” she wrote in the caption. “Leaking boobies are so NOT hot right now... LOL.” The mom added the hashtag #mustremembermyboobpads.

The photo received over 34,000 likes, and the comments section is filled with responses from fellow moms who have totally been there. “The struggle is real #momlife,” wrote one commenter. Others shared advice for avoiding leaky boob messes.

Murgatroyd gave birth to baby Shai, her son with fiancé and fellow “DWTS” pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy, on Jan. 4.

Since then, the new mom has been getting real about parenthood. 

Last month, she posted another viral selfie of her postpartum body a week after giving birth.

“I left the hospital looking 5 months pregnant,” she wrote in the caption. “Many people think a woman should shrink right back to her pre-birth weight immediately. That is just not the truth for most.”
