Vintage pictures show Victorian women breastfeeding babies | Daily Mail Online

'Scroll down to see striking portraits of turn of the century women breastfeeding their babies over 100 years ago... '

'In recent years new mothers have tried to de-stigmatise breastfeeding in public - even sharing photos of intimate moments nursing their babies online. '

'These photos taken in America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries show new mothers proudly breastfeeding their children in front of the camera. ', "It's thought that, as photography became more widely available, it sparked a fad for Victorian mothers using the new technology to pose for portraits while nursing their newborns."

'The trend died out in the 1940s as breastfeeding became something of a taboo following the invention of formula, which doctors then encouraged over breast milk. '
