Jenna Jameson Showers While Breastfeeding Daughter Batel During 'Hard' Day: 'This Is Motherhood'
Jenna Jameson is being honest about motherhood.
The former adult film star shared an intimate photo on Instagram of herself breastfeeding her 11-month-old daughter Batel Lu in the shower on Tuesday.
The new mother of three, 43, has been outspoken about breastfeeding and her mission to normalize it but told fans Tuesday was a hard day for her.
“This is motherhood. It’s not always shiny and perfect like so many instagrammers make us believe,” Jameson wrote in the caption. “There are days you question your strength and abilities. But then there are HARD days like today that prove your uncompromising power.”
She continued, “I haven’t slept for two days and poor Batelli has been vomiting every 40 min like clockwork. We are in this together. So here’s to all of you selfless mamas out there, you make this world go round. #normalizebreastfeeding.”
