10 Controversial Photos of Women Breastfeeding While Doing Something Else

1Breastfeeding While "Working"

Gisele Bundchen is the highest-paid model in the world, a mother of two, and the wife of a Super Bowl-winning NFL quarterback, so it's no surprise that the supermodel is also a no-nonsense multitasker.

What is surprising to moms across the country is that Bundchen, 33, chose to share a photo of herself in the most glamorous multitasking moment possible, nursing her one-year-old daughter, Vivian, while simultaneously getting her hair styled, her nails manicured, and her face made up.

"What would I do without this beauty squad after the 15 hours flying and only three hours of sleep #multitasking #gettingready," the Brazilian beauty wrote on Instagram.

The photo of Bundchen, the wife of New England Patriots' star Tom Brady, nursing in a white bathrobe stirred controversy as soon as it appeared online, with moms both attacking her and coming to her defense.

2Breastfeeding While Riding a Moped

If texting while driving is a bad idea, then breastfeeding while riding a moped is probably not the best idea. However, that didn't stop a woman in central China from doing it anyway.

In China, witnesses reported that this woman was weaving in and out of traffic along a busy street in the city of Yuzhou when her 18-month-old son started to cry. They said that she started breastfeeding the infant while keeping one hand on the handlebar.

Officers undoubtedly worried that the woman was one bad baby bump away from causing an accident. They pulled her over and gave her a warning.

4Breastfeeding While Driving

In 2009, a woman driver named Genine Compton was breastfeeding and talking on her cell phone while driving. Compton was around the Dayton suburb of Kettering when a caller tipped off police.

Police tracked her down by using her license plate. Compton admitted to breastfeeding while driving, but in her defense she said that she could not let her child go hungry. Police said that her child was below the age of two. She was charged with child endangerment.

Note: This image is not related to the story; it's a photo that parenting blogger Hobo Mama uploaded on her blog where she is pretending to drive while breastfeeding.
