Chrissy Teigen Has a Hilarious Explanation For Why She’s Not Breastfeeding

"Maybe Chrissy wanted a drink.. and was sensible enough to pump prior to said drink OR MAYBE SHE DECIDED TO STOP BREASTFEEDING AND ITS NON OF YOUR BUSINESS not your boobs not your problem hun," one user wrote.

Another shared: "You do realize many woman pump their breastmilk and feed their babies breast milk via bottle? Also, I love how some people think something so personal as breastfeeding is any of their business."

And another wrote: "All I see is a proud papa sharing his family, a mom feeding her son and a grandma doing what they do best ❤️ there's a lot of love in this pic."

This isn't the first time Teigen has been shamed for her nursing decisions. In July, when Teigen shared a photo nursing Miles (and Luna's baby doll), one Twitter user wrote: “Christ in a hand basket. Menstruating, childbirth and sex are natural, too, but that doesn’t mean I want to see pics of it and/or celebrities like @chrissyteigen taking a bath or nursing. We get it."

Of course, Teigen had a witty reply.

"I don’t care to see grainy fireworks, Coachella selfies or infinity pool pics but i let people live. calm your tits and scroll on by,” Teigen tweeted in response.

And in response to another tweet that has since been deleted, Teigen wrote: "Nah. Just chillin. Posting daily life like I do with anything else. Cooking, playing with dogs, etc. You make feeding a baby big deal because you got weird titty issues.”

Here's to hoping Teigen's social media habits (or clap backs) don't cease anytime soon.

There are hundreds of reasons why someone might choose not to breastfeed or might discontinue doing so. The most important thing is for the baby to be loved and properly cared for.

Don’t shame breastfeeding or any healthy feeding of kids. Also: does it say “don’t seize”? Does she have a seizure issue or did you mean cease? Because that I will definitely shame!

For all we know it could be either of these situations below,, at that moment who's to say she doesn't physically breastfeed her son !! How long does expressed breast milk keep? How long you can safely keep expressed breast milk depends on the storage method. Consider these general guidelines for healthy infants: Room temperature. Freshly expressed breast milk can be kept at room temperature for up to six hours. However, use or proper storage within four hours is optimal. If the room is especially warm, the limit is also four hours. Insulated cooler. Freshly expressed breast milk can be stored in an insulated cooler with ice packs for up to one day. Refrigerator. Freshly expressed breast milk can be stored in the back of the refrigerator for up to five days in clean conditions. However, use or freezer storage within three days is optimal. Deep freezer. Freshly expressed breast milk can be stored in the back of a deep freezer for up to 12 months. However, using the frozen milk within six months is optimal.

Here's to hoping Teigen's social media habits (or clap backs) don't seize anytime soon. Dear Author, I think you meant cease... bring or come to an end. not seize...take hold of suddenly and forcibly. just saying...

Author of the article, you DO realize that you don’t have to pump before drinking? There’s many studies on this. Dr Jack Newman has a great one on drinking and breastfeeding.

You get shamed for breastfeeding in public and shamed for bottle feeding in public? Pick a side .. maybe she didnt want to offend by breastfeeding in public so she pumped a bottle for when she goes out..maybe she just likes to mess with ppls emotions on breastfeeding maybe she was taking a med the baby cant have or like someone said maybe she wanted a cocktail.. no ones damn business as to why its sad we live in a society where ppl think they need to have an opinion...

I bottle fed both my children. They are healthy and doing well. I had no desire to breast feed and made that very clear to my ob and hospital staff. So please stop shaming moms who choose not to breast feed.

AnnaMarie, I think you meant to use the term cease rather than seize in your final paragraph.

I’m sure at the college interviews the questions will entail if you were breastfed or not? If the kids are healthy...

Breastfeeding is a personal choice. I had to stop so I could go back on antidepressants for my postpartum depression. The meds would get to my daughter through the breast milk and the one I took was not approved to take while breastfeeding. The nurses made me feel like a horrible mother for not breastfeeding but in the end going back on antidepressants was the best decision for me, my daughter, and my family.
