A Model Walked The Runway At A Huge Fashion Show While Breastfeeding Her Baby

The fashion industry is becoming more and more diverse, with models of different body shapes, abilities and races strutting their stuff for the world’s biggest brands.

And now, in what must be a first, a model walked the catwalk of Miami Swim Week while breastfeeding.

Mara Martin was one of 16 models who closed out the Sports Illustrated show on Sunday evening, looking incredible wearing a gold bikini and feeding her five-month-old baby.

Clips and photos of Mara were shared on Sports Illustrated Instagram page – people were living for it:

On fan wrote, “What a beautiful statement!”

Another said: “I love it. This should be a regular thing. She’s so beautiful and happy in her own skin. I bet more women would feel better about themselves during postpartum with new mamas showing off their fresh, jaguar skin like this.”

Thank you for making an example of how beautiful breastfeeding is. Cheers to you and all the breastfeeding mothers out there. Keep up the good work.

We’re loving this diversity on the runway!
