His name is Maddi Wright and is known in Australia for participating in a contest called House rules, where participants have to reform their homes and then put them to a vote. The winner receives a prize consisting of the payment of their home mortgage.
But we are not going to talk about your participation in this contest, but about the debate that has originated on Instagram by sharing an image along with this title: 'I wish I had never breastfed'.
I know that many will not agree, but ...
The issue of childcare, and especially breastfeeding, continues to raise blisters for many reasons: it can become tired and hard and requires time, dedication and sleepless nights, all for a greater good, giving them the best possible food.
It is a choice made by many mothers who consider all sufferings good (only mom can feed the baby) because they know and feel they are doing their best. Then, when someone rejects that option to defend an opposite, and considers it good and better, the sparks jump.
It is clear that every woman should be able to freely choose how to care for, raise and feed their children, and the rest should respect it. But it seems to cost when the defense of one option suggests to the rest that the other is attacked. And that is what many people have interpreted with Wright's words.
As we read on ABC, this mother decided to explain her reflection, after starting breastfeeding her second child and finally deciding to quit.
Start by warning that what you are going to say is strong, and that you are aware that many will not agree. Then explain the situation:
Three weeks after I stopped breastfeeding my four-month-old son, I am a completely different person. I am a better mother and a better wife. I have more energy. Sometimes I miss the little one a little, when he is not close to me. But I have more time for my other son. I am more affectionate with my husband. I am not afraid to go outside. I enjoy my clothes again because I don't drip everywhere nor do I have to wear uncomfortable nursing bras.
Now I am able to leave home without feeling anxiety. I can go to the gym again. I know that I will receive a lot of negative comments for this post, but I think it is very important for mothers to know that they have options. There are many different ways of being a mother. But what many moms forget is that the mother also has to be happy.

Your post accumulates more than 3 thousand 'likes' and it has provoked a debate of almost 400 comments in which you can find from people who defend it, obviously for their freedom to do and say what they want, to people who accuse them of being superficial for worrying more about playing sports and of taking what clothes, what of your baby's health.
From here, from Babies and moreWe can only say one thing: respect must always exist, and that does not mean that everyone has to agree with it, but that each one can express their opinions without insulting, without judging and without telling others what they should do.
