Ashley Graham, well-known for promoting body positivity and self-confidence, is now sharing another honest chapter of her motherhood journey. As a mother of three, including twin boys, she continues to encourage women to trust their instincts when it comes to feeding their children.
Graham believes that every family is different, and every mother should feel comfortable choosing what works best for her. “I don’t think we should be telling people how we should be feeding our kids,” she said, emphasizing that no one approach fits all.
In a recent interview, she reflected on how her mindset has evolved. “With my first child, I was like, ‘I can only breastfeed—this is the right way!’ Then I had the twins, and I was like, ‘I’m not doing this,’” she admitted. After five months of trying to keep up, she made the switch to formula so she could better care for both her babies and her own well-being.
Graham also spoke openly about the physical changes she experienced after pregnancy. “Your body fills up with nutrition, and the baby sucks it out of you… you’re just fully depleted of everything,” she explained. Her comments highlight the very real challenges many mothers face, but rarely speak about.
Despite the exhaustion and the pressure mothers often feel, Graham continues to embrace self-acceptance. “I like to represent myself as someone who’s happy with who I am… I don’t ever want to lie,” she said. Her honesty has resonated with moms around the world who appreciate her authenticity and vulnerability.
Ashley’s story is a reminder that motherhood looks different for everyone—and that choosing what’s best for your family is always the right decision.
