Breastfeeding Model Covers Elle

Magazines can't seem to get breastfeeding right.

elle_aus_dcee7a54e99252fdc32375046e362eea.today-inline-largeElle Australia’s latest issue features model Nicole Trunfio nursing her four-month-old son. This is great! We’re all for moms breastfeeding their kids. However, there are a couple problems with this cover.

If Elle really wants to normalize breastfeeding, maybe the photograph could be a little bit more… Normal. We’re not exactly sure, but we think nursing is rarely this glamorous.

Also, this cover is nice, but it’s only being sent to Elle Australia subscribers. The issue available on newsstands looks like this:

If Elle Australia was truly trying to be supportive of breastfeeding, why hide the original cover from the public eye?

It’s not just Elle Australia that is screwing up.
