However, this is exactly what Formula 1 heiress Tamara Ecclestone had to do after she posted a photo of her breastfeeding her daughter.
The 30-year-old shared a picture of her breastfeeding one-year-old Sophia while on holidays and, it’s fair to say, she did not expect the backlash that she received.
While some congratulated her on the stunning snap, one person wrote: "It's beautiful but in the privacy of your own home. Cover up with a blanket, nobody knows the values of having fkn morals. I don't want to see you boob in public neither does my husband. [sic]"
The mum was on ITV’s Lorraine this morning, and it was here that she opened up about why she posted the photo in the first place: "I’m completely obsessed with my daughter, sorry everyone all I do is post pictures of her - and my husband took the picture and I loved it."
"I thought it was so cute and I didn’t realise that it was going to cause so much controversy. I didn’t realise that people would have so many opinions on it. I just thought it was a beautiful photograph of the person that I love so much and on holiday and it was a special moment and that was really the only reason to share that picture."
"It was just like a spontaneous moment and I think sometimes those are the nicest pictures and, to be honest, I just think: why should I not post a picture? If someone is bottle-feeding their baby and enjoying it and in the moment and post a picture of their baby while they’re being fed a bottle nobody would have anything to say about that," she added.
Speaking about the debate which ensued after the snap was posted, the mum-of-one said: "I think parenting in general, people always have such an opinion and it divides opinion. I’m kind of over trying to please anyone, I just do whatever feels right and I think as a mum you just follow your instinct of what feels right to you."
It is a beautiful picture of Mummy and Daughter, and is definitely one to cherish forever.
