Standing strong: 'My body did the most incredible thing a human body could do and it should only ever be loved and appreciated for it. I am beautiful, screw what mainstream society says, I'm sexy too,' she said
Mrs Ancliffe has also shared snaps of her breastfeeding in the past, including a photo of her breastfeeding Jonah outside in the sun and laying in bed.
The proud mother has also inspired other mothers by sharing unedited photos of her post-baby stomach.
'It's covered in stretch marks, has a little sag and is nowhere near as flat as it used to be,' she wrote alongside one picture, 'There's so much pressure in our society for mothers to "get their bodies back" and you feel a constant shame if you're not working out to do that, but I can honestly say I am not ever going to try to get my body back.'

? But it's her son/daughter and can and HAS been done in public for centuries. Who the fukk just woke up 1 day and said "
....i'm calling CPS and going to out you on twitter and facebook as well". Like I one hand, I understand being politically correct or "culturally sensitive" but breastfeeding is a universal action that spreads across the entire world. It's a boob....the child needs to eat....there are NO other ways around it. What if I just decided one day that i didn't want to see woman's bare feet in dirty flip flops all day long and said enough...."I'm calling cps for you exposing your cracked soles in public
" The same fukkers who complained probably had a mouthful of milk on the daily...and it wasn't Barbers 
Seriously though, fukk off with this shyt. I'm legit offended and I'm not even a woman
