Turia Pitt’s brutally honest confession about breastfeeding
Inspirational burns survivor and motivational speaker, Turia Pitt, has remained brutally honest about the journey of motherhood since announcing the news of her pregnancy last year.
Now, Turia has shared a candid photo showing how her body has been affected since breastfeeding her son, Hakavai Hoskin.
In the photo shared on her Instagram story, Turia is wearing a bikini top which is filled out on one side and gaping on the other.
"Retired,” Turia wrote over the photo, with an arrow pointing to her smaller boob.
“Very much at work,” she wrote next to the visibly bigger one.
The first-time mum’s honest sense of humour has been praised by fans for her relatability.
Turia and her partner, Michael Hoskin, welcomed their baby boy into the world last year in December, six years after she suffered burns to more than 60 per cent of her body.
Since the shocking accident, which saw her trapped in a bush fire in Western Australia, Turia has become an author and motivational speaker, gaining an online following of over 830,000 people.
In March, she told Yahoo! 7 that is was easy to feel “overwhelmed” by becoming a mum.
“It’s easy to get stressed and overwhelmed when your baby is crying or not sleeping, and get in that loop of ‘oh, if he doesn’t sleep now, then he won’t sleep later, and then I won’t sleep well tonight, which will make tomorrow stressful etc,'" she said.
“But that doesn’t help anyone! So I’m trying to stay in the present moment – and enjoy all of it,” Turia added.
