Eventually, Shagieva took the picture down because her parents were scared it "could be harmful to her young family," she said. But she still believes in parents' right to breastfeed without shame. "This body I've been given is not vulgar. It is functional, its purpose is to fulfill the physiological needs of my baby, not to be sexualized," she explained. "When I'm breastfeeding my child I feel like I'm giving him the best I can give. Taking care of my baby and attending to his needs is more important to me than what people say about me."
