A rugby player in the U.K. is being praised for stopping during a match to breast feed her baby. A photo from the Stanningley Ladies Rugby club showed 29-year-old Emily Brierley breastfeeding 14-week-old Arabella on the sidelines.
Like any usual sideline shot, Brierley is surrounded by water bottles and a rugby ball, but her baby girl is tucked under her shirt. "Brilliant image from the weekend. One of our Ladies team juggling playing with that of motherhood. Well done Emily - great to see you back in action," the photo caption reads on Twitter. Brierley, who is also mom to 9-year-old Scarlett, said Sunday's game was her first since giving birth. She had not played for six months and was eager to get back to it — even asking her doctor if she could train just days after giving birth.More Related News
