Norman Reedus and breastfeeding
If you needed any further endorsement of breastfeeding in public, Norman Reedus, who plays Daryl Dixon on AMC's The Walking Dead, agreed to take a photo with a couple of nursing mamas recently. According to the Facebook page Momma Is A Hippie, whose owner is a friend of one of the cute moms in the photo, they noticed he was holding a fake boob as they approached. Breastfeeding was discussed, and he was all for taking a breastfeeding pic — and reportedly he said it was the best photo he's ever taken. I might have to agree.
It's awesome that Reedus is a proponent of breastfeeding, but it's not totally surprising, as his character showed a nurturing side when a baby was born on The Walking Dead, and he helped care for her.

Breastfeeding remains a polarizing topic, but having support from one of the most popular male stars on TV is a breath of fresh air. Thanks, Norman, for being awesome and showing that breastfeeding isn't something that needs to be hidden away. I expect your fan numbers have grown exponentially over the last day or two because of this badass photo.
