This politician breastfed while giving a speech, and we’re cheering

We love ladies who take the world of politics by storm. And we especially love the fact that they’re not ashamed to be real in the process. Australian Senator Larissa Waters breastfed her baby in the middle of giving a speech yesterday, and we’re in awe. (Seriously, talk about multitasking.)

In May, Waters became the first politician to breastfeed in the Australian parliament, but this is next level. Waters is the proud mother of a baby girl, Alia, who was born earlier this year. Alia is Waters’ second daughter, and visual proof that women shouldn’t be afraid to balance motherhood and career.

We think that Waters handled the situation like a boss.

First time I've had to move a Senate motion while breastfeeding! And my partner in crime moved her own motion just before mine, bless her

In a statement reported by Mashable, Waters opened up about the experience, saying:

"Women have always worked and reared children, whether that work was paid in the workplace or unpaid in the home," she said. "I hope it helps to normalise breastfeeding and remove any vestige of stigma against breastfeeding a baby when they are hungry."

Of course, Waters is also well aware that she’s making history.

So proud that my daughter Alia is the first baby to be breastfed in the federal Parliament! We need more #women & parents in Parli #auspol pic.twitter.com/w34nxWxG0y

Thanks to Waters, the Australian House of Representatives has already made a bunch of changes to allow political parents to bring their children into the chamber — breastfed or not. So, while breastfeeding during a speech is jaw-droppingly cool now, hopefully in the near future it’ll be considered the norm. That’s a win for everyone.
