Blake Lively, Rachel McAdams and more celebrity moms haven’t shied away from sharing their pumping journeys on social media.
In January 2020, Lively gave a glimpse into her working motherhood routine during a Rhythm Section press day. “PUMP,” the actress captioned an Instagram Story photo of her Medela USA pump.
Lively shares four children with her husband, Ryan Reynolds.
“We have so many children. It’s pretty crazy. It’s a lot,” she joked on the Today show in 2021. “People say that going from two to three, it’s the same. You know, it’s kind of easy. Those people do not have three kids. It is crazy.”
As for McAdams, the Notebook star shares a son with her boyfriend, Jamie Linden. After the little one’s April 2018 arrival, McAdams kept her baby boy under wraps — but that didn’t stop her from taking a pumping picture in December 2018.
Photographer Claire Rothstein shared the photo of McAdams in a black nursing bra via Instagram, writing, “This shoot was about 6 months post her giving birth to her son, so between shots, she was expressing/pumping as still breastfeeding. … Breast-feeding is the most normal thing in the world and I can’t for the life of me imagine why or how its is ever frowned upon or scared of. I don’t even think it needs explaining but just wanted to put this out there, as if it even changes one person’s perception of something so natural, so normal, so amazing then that’s great.”
