Blake Lively’s Fans Celebrate Her for ‘Nσɾmаlιzι𝚗ɡ Pumρι𝚗ɡ ι𝚗 Publιc’ on IG

In her characteristic candid style, Blake Lively took to Instagram to share some cherished moments from 2023, offering her followers a glimpse into a postpartum visit to Disneyland Paris complete with a portable breast pump.

Among the series of photos, the 36-year-old, who is a mother of four, featured prominently in the second slide, posing with the beloved Ratatouille character. Her attire, a yellow Disney t-shirt, comfortable sneakers, Mickey Mouse ears, and a crucial accessory—the breast pump—was spotlighted. Captioning the carousel with a glass of milk emoji, she wrote, “Pumping at @disneylandparis. Cheers Remy.”

Fans, particularly fellow mothers, were quick to applaud Lively for “normalizing pumping in public.” The comments varied from heartwarming sentiments to humor, with one user sharing, “If you haven’t pumped while waiting in line at Disneyland, what are you even doing?! 😂 Mine was an hour wait at Indiana Jones. Pumped 11oz.”

Expressing gratitude, another fan wrote, “Thank you for pumping in public and helping to make a positive change for the next generation of pumping moms out there. I’m hoping that by the time my daughters become moms, they’ll live in a society where moms feel comfortable and empowered to take care of their babies wherever they are. The more people see women breastfeeding in public, the more normal it becomes, so thank you for being a part of that.”

Taking a stroll down memory lane for 2023, Lively also shared snapshots of one of her standout fashion moments of the year. In September, she embraced the “Dancing Queen” persona at New York Fashion Week, donning a form-fitting sequins jumpsuit and disco-inspired curls. Reflecting on the moment on December 30, she captioned the post, “Only @michaelkors could get me to squeeze into gold sequins way too soon after having a baby. Love you MK✨🪩 ✨.”

Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, are parents to four children, including daughters James, 9, Inez, 7, and Betty, 4. While the couple welcomed their fourth child in early 2023, they have kept details about the newest addition relatively private. Reynolds shared their excitement in February, saying, “We’re very excited. Look, we wouldn’t do this four times if we didn’t love it. Everybody’s doing great. Everybody’s actually doing fantastic. I think if we hadn’t figured it out by now, I think we’d be in deep, deep trouble.”
