Model and mum Mara Martin walked the catwalk while breastfeeding her five-month-old daughter, Aria. Mara was one of the 16 finalists chosen by Sports Illustrated through an open casting call at Miami Swim Week. She walked the runway in a gold bikini, pulled down on one side to accommodate feeding Aria, who wore soundproofing headphones to protect her ears from all the noise. The runway show, which also featured amputee model and Paralympic gold medal snowboarder Brenna Huckaby, has been widely praised on social media — especially from mums excited to see breastfeeding being shown with no shame. Following the show, Mara took to Instagram to share a message about what breastfeeding on the runway meant to her. My story of being a mother and feeding her while walking is just that.
