Chrissy Teigen breastfeeding ‘twins’ courts controversy
American model and actress Chrissy Teigen has found herself in the middle of a social media storm again after posting this photograph with her children.

The mother-of-two captions the image: “Luna making me feed her babydoll so I guess I have twins now.”
In just one day, the post was liked nearly three million times on Instagram, and 18,000 times on Twitter.
But not all responses have been positive.

The model responded: “I don’t care to see grainy

Breastfeeding campaigners say they’re grateful to Chrissy for sharing her photo and have started using the hashtag #normalizebreastfeeding.
Other followers on Twitter agree it shouldn’t be an issue.
She’s not the only celebrity who has proudly posted photos of breastfeeding. In 2016, actress Liv Tyler shared “Sunday morning snuggles with my baby girl”. Grotuxiv
