In the middle of last year, Australian model Nicole Trunfio appeared on the cover of Elle magazine breastfeeding her four-month-old son.
For a world that censors new mums at every turn, from social media to the supermarket, it was a groundbreaking photo shoot which started a long overdue national conversation.
But for the 30-year-old, who got her start on Search for a Supermodel, it was the impact the image had on her husband, musician Gary Clark Jr, that mattered the most.
“I woke up the next morning after it launched and I had comments on my Instagram saying, “This is such an important thing for women and culture,” she told Stellar in a recent interview.
“For me, the most impactful thing came from home because [my husband] Gary [Clark Jnr] used to feel really uncomfortable when I’d breastfeed at a restaurant, even if I had a blanket over the top.

MM - I'm going to keep posting till you allow this because that video made me so angry. Mia, you and the girl in pink attacked the other girl because she didn't use drugs in childbirth & it's disgusting! Guess what some women don't have to have drugs during child birth (who cares if they do or don't) - why do you have the right to judge them & put sh*t on them for not having drugs..............this is crazy!
So the husband felt uncomfortable when the mum fed the baby in public. Poor sensitive lamb. Far better to let the baby starve, eh?!
