來自密西根州的30歲女模馬拉（Mara Martin）日前來到佛州，在一場泳裝秀中表演，由於活動行程不斷被推延，她5個月大的女兒阿麗雅（Aria）正好肚子餓了，於是，她直接抱起孩子上場並一邊哺乳，這個舉動讓她事後爆紅。對此，網友評價兩極，有人稱讚她在公開場合哺乳很有勇氣；但也有人覺得不妥。
馬拉近日出席《運動畫刊泳裝特輯》的走秀，她穿著亮金色的泳裝，兩手抱著女兒；而懷中的孩子戴著阻絕噪音的耳機，一邊吸著母奶。這名瞬間走紅的母親事後表示，她做這個舉動前其實沒有「三思而後行」，因為這就是她的日常生活，當時正好是女兒的晚餐時間，「她有點餓了。」
對此，畫刊的編輯MJ Day大力支持，她曾詢問「難道你在伸展台上時只想哺乳而已嗎？」馬拉則回答，她很樂意這樣做，還得到了台下觀眾的鼓勵，而且看到女兒的笑容後，她覺得很驕傲。
雖然有人質疑，是否真有必要在上場時餵女兒。但也有很多網友力挺馬拉，留言內容包括「你激勵了大家」、「感謝你向許多人表明這是正常的，照顧孩子並不可恥」、「做得好！有朋友告訴我，她害怕在公共場合哺乳，因為有些人可能會衝過來對她大吼大叫。」
得知自己具有影響力後，馬拉也透過IG回應，非常感謝大家的支持，她很希望能夠「正常化」哺乳這件事情，「最後，對於每一個與我在舞台上搖擺的女性們，你們要感到驕傲，我是支持你們的，你們都以不可想像的方式激勵著我，我愛你們。」
Wow! WHAT A NIGHT! Words can’t even describe how amazing I feel after being picked to walk the runway for @si_swimsuit. Anyone who knows me, knows it has been a life long dream of mine. I can’t believe I am waking up to headlines with me and my daughter in them for doing something I do every day. It is truly so humbling and unreal to say the least. I’m so grateful to be able to share this message and hopefully normalize breastfeeding and also show others that women CAN DO IT ALL! But to be honest, the real reason I can’t believe it is a headline is because it shouldn’t be a headline!!! My story of being a mother and feeding her while walking is just that. Last night there are far more deserving headlines that our world should see. One woman is going to boot camp in two weeks to serve our country (sorry i don’t know your IG handle ), one woman had a mastectomy (@allynrose), and another is a cancer survivor, 2x paralympic gold medalist, as well as a mother herself (@bren_hucks you rock) Those are the stories that our world should be discussing!!!! Just thinking about all that was represented there... I desperately need to give the most thanks to @mj_day for this. She supported me in what I did last night. Without her support this wouldn’t even be discussed!!!! She and the entire Sports Illustrated family are the most amazing and incredible team to have worked with. THANK YOU for letting all 16 of us be our true selves, strong beautiful women!!! Because of you, my daughter is going to grow up in a better world, where she will always feel this way!!!!!! Lastly, to every single woman that rocked that runway with me. Be proud. I know I am of you! You all have inspired me in ways unimaginable. I love you all!!! #siswimsearch
