Actress shares 'fun for the whole family' breastfeeding selfie

The Hart of Dixie actress joined in on the ‘free the nipple’ movement when she shared her love for breastfeeding on instagram.

According to Gossip Cop, Jaime posted a very affectionate picture of her 8 month old son nuzzling on her breast with the caption “...These are the moments a mother lives for. Breastfeeding should not be taboo...”.

The posting of this picture can be seen as a Jaime’s way of challenging instagram and its conservative and hypocritical policies.

Social networks such as Twitter and Instagram have banned the publishing/posting of images which display nipples and women breastfeeding. Such images are considered too raunchy for the respective social networks. Even Bruce Willis’s daughter, Scout Willis, had something to say about this irrational social media law.

The actress clearly does not agree with the banning of the ‘inappropriate images’ of women breastfeeding their children.

She adds that breastfeeding, in all its forms, is “All fun for the whole family”.  In other words, social networks should not take the innate act of breastfeeding  so seriously.

There is nothing raunchy or hypersexual about it, therefore there is no need to censor the woman’s body. After all, women have a right to choose how they represent their bodies, right?
