Sameera Reddy, who recently became a mother for the second time, has been actively sharing posts about different facets of maternity on social media and her latest Instagram entry is about breastfeeding, which is perfectly in sync with the World Breastfeeding Week (August 1-7). In her post, Sameera not only addressed new mothers, she also drew the attention of new dads and asked them to be supportive of new moms. "New dads and loved ones listen up! It's World Breast feeding week and this post is for you to know that you can be the biggest support and encouragement to a new mom," read an excerpt from Sameera Reddy's post.
In her extensive note, Sameera touched upon the mental and physical connotations that breastfeeding can have and how it can affect a mother's behavior. She added, "Understanding the pressure on her physically and emotionally is the best thing you can do. Nothing like feeling loved at such an overwhelming time."
In the latter section of the post, the actress talked about the stigma attached to breast feeding and that women should not feel ashamed of resorting to the method. She signed off the note saying, "We need to support all mothers and show love and respect."
