Despite the backlash Formula 1 heiress Tamara received for two recent breastfeeding selfies, she’s brought the ‘brelfie’ back with this lovely photo.

Aussie model Nicole Trunfio continues her campaign to normalise breastfeeding with these two photos of her nursing her son Zion. “This should be normal!” the mum of one wrote on one of the photos.

Tamara Ecclestone posted two stunning snapshots of her breastfeeding her daughter Sophia while on holiday. But sadly the Formula 1 heiress was slammed for oversharing, with some of her Instagram fans telling her the pics were 'gross’ and there was no need for her to post images of her ’t**** hanging out’.

After receiving abuse for posting these two brelfies on her Instagram account, Tamara Ecclestone defended her decision. The Formula 1 heiress appeared on ITV’s Lorraine, saying that she had no idea the pics would cause such a strong reaction. “My husband took the picture. I loved it, I thought it was so cute… I didn’t realise it was going to cause so much controversy and that people would have so many opinions on it,” she said. [Instagram/Tamara Ecclestone]

Australian supermodel Nicole Trunfio has appeared on the June 2015 cover of Elle Australia, breastfeeding her four-month-old son Zion. The photo marks the first time the magazine has realised a breastfeeding front cover. But TV presenter Sonia Kruger has hit out at the mag’s editor, Justine Cullen, saying she 'wussed out’ for only using this photo on the glossy’s subscription issue. Nicole shared the cover on her Instagram page, writing, 'There is nothing more powerful and beautiful than motherhood. The last thing I want to do is be controversial, so please take this for what it is, let us #normalizebreastfeeding. There is nothing worse than a mother that is judged for feeding her hungry child in public #weareonlyhuman. I’m so proud of this cover and for what it stands for. I obviously don’t look like this while I am breastfeeding but this stands for all women out there, whether you breastfeed or not, we gave birth, we are women, we are mothers. Thank you to ELLE for being so bold and making such an encouraging, positive and healthy statement. #womenunite" [Instagram/Nicole Trunfio]
