Jessie J praised by fans for sharing realities of breastfeeding as she playfully shows off ‘life-changing’ breast pumps
JESSIE J has been praised by fans for sharing the “tiring” realities of breastfeeding after she showed off her favourite pumping kit.
The Price Tag singer, 35, gave her army of supporters a glimpse of her feeding routine with her 10-week-old son Sky Safir Cornish Colman.
Jessie told her 13.6million Instagram followers she had found the perfect breast pumps to help deliver her child’s milk supply.
She admitted she had made the purchase “while half asleep” after realising the toll breastfeeding had taken on her body.
Dubbing her new accessory a “lifesaver”, the Mamma Knows Best songstress applauded the Elvie product for helping her battle through the newborn trenches.
Jessie shared a comical clip showing her using the wearable electric breast pump while larking around with her baby boy Sky.
In an effort to prove its durability and how it gives mums flexibility, she put the pump to the test with a series of hilarious dance moves.
And to show how much she could get done with a free pair of hands, Jessie even spruced up her makeup and carried out a few other tasks.
She explained she hardly ever posts adverts on her page – which is testimony to how much she “actually uses and loves” her pump.
Jessie wrote: “So my @elvie pumps were ordered months ago before being asked to collab with the brand, whilst half asleep in the middle of the night and man have they changed my world in this time of breastfeeding.
“I use them everyday. I leave the house wearing them feeling like a [superhero] tbh.
“People look at me and I’m like ‘Yep I got [robot] t*ts’.
“I never knew before now how amazing and beautiful but hard and tiring pumping and breastfeeding can be on your body, sleep and day-to-day life. I am a mover, a non-sit stiller, a hands-on kinda lady.
“Being able to whip them out and put them on anywhere and everywhere is a LIFE saver.
“Shopping, eating out, even at the doctors, these things get used everywhere I go.”
Jessie applauded the brand for “empowering women” with their innovative technology and making mums’ lives easier.
She described being able to feed her tot on the go with ease as the “best thing in the world” in the post on Wednesday.
Her followers were equally excited by the product, but the majority were most impressed by Jessie’s frankness with her fans.
Thousands of people left an array of comments commending her for showing and “normalising” the gruelling realities of breastfeeding.
One said: “Incredible! I love this! Thank you for helping to normalise breastfeeding! Amazing!”
Another wrote: “YAAAAAAAAS! Thank you so much for normalizing pumping for mothers in the UK in particular.
“Breastfeeding doesn’t have to be all or nothing nowadays.”
A third said: “Not sure if it’s the same brand but I know a server that uses these… while serving tables! Mums are superheroes.”
A fourth added: “Congratulations on this… Yay for breastfeeding your beautiful baby boy he is soo handsome.”
And a fifth chimed in: “You are the coolest mum ever!”
Others pointed out how much motherhood suits the Brit Award winner, saying her love for her son was evident.
Little Sky, who Jessie shares with basketball player boyfriend Chanan Safir Colman, 38, was born in May this year.
She shared a post saying she was “flying in love” after welcoming her little bundle of joy.
But Jessie was forced to hit back at trolls this week after being bombarded with questions about her post-birth body.
She has been candid in showing off her “real body” in a series of Instagram videos which have seen her posing in her pants.
But the singer says she is sick of people asking her about getting back in shape and shared her blunt response to the question.
Jessie said: “My reply is… ‘I don’t want to go back. That body is gone. I want my body to go forward. I’m getting my body forward’.
“That’s the vibe ladies. Embrace that bowddddy!”
