Model-turned-actress Lisa Hayden was shamed for sharing the breastfeeding picture with her son Zack last year. The actress has now opened up on how it was going through the trolling phase, adding that “it was not ashamed” but felt “uncomfortable many a times”. “I felt very fortunate and blessed to be able to breastfeed my kid for as long as I did. I would definitely encourage every mother to do so and it is something I definitely stand by,” Lisa says.

Lisa Hayden Shamed For Sharing Breastfeeding Pic

I've gotten loads of posts asking about life after having my son… esp to do with weight and fitness. Seeing as it's World Breastfeeding Week- time to give some credit where credit is due. Breastfeeding has played such a big part in getting back into shape after giving birth to my baby. Breastfeeding has been challenging+time consuming (literally hours spent everyday trying to stimulate milk supply) but it's such a beautiful way to bond and connect with your child plus all the nutritional benefits that your child gets from your milk. Look out for my blog post on mycityforkids.com on breastfeeding. Happy #worldbreastfeedingweek

“I certainly felt uncomfortable at times when I was asked if I was still breastfeeding my baby and it had only been four months. Some people told me I am not a cow, my baby should not feed off me and there were many things that made me feel uncomfortable to do it, not so much ashamed,” Lisa said.

Lisa had a stint of modelling career for a brief eight to ten years and then she moved to movie, when prodded what she enjoyed of the two, she quickly says, “The more films you work on, the more you get to walk the runway these days as showstoppers seem to be quite a craze. I always enjoyed my modelling days but it was a natural sort of evolution after about eight to ten years of walking the runway. To want to experiment, do films and making films is my passion.”
