"  Moms are sharing this meme Amy posted on her blog with the hashtag #SaveDaughteroftheSun.  Instagram recently suspended the account of someone now known as Naked Breast-feeding Yoga Mom (her name is actually Amy). So, breast-feeding moms, here we go again. Listen, when I had a newborn, I was transformed overnight from a modest, cardigan-wearing, old-lady-bathing suit-advocate into a public boob-flasher. I didn&amp;#039;t mean for it to go that way, it just kind of does when you&amp;#039;re breastfeeding a child who doesn&amp;#039;t care to hide under a blanket while nursing and likes to leave the house every once in a while. I was not posting pictures of myself doing naked breastfeeding yoga, though. You know why? Because I would wobble and fall and crush my baby. Have you ever done a headstand in yoga? Have you ever breastfed a baby? Both of these things are really difficult! People have to go to special classes just to get the hang of either one. Entire companies are devoted to the creation of special pillows to help position babies to nurse. And thus, to the naked breast-feeding yoga mom, I say, &amp;quot;Wow! Hey! Good for you. Seriously, wow. Okay, Internet, what&amp;#039;s next?&amp;quot; As I write this, my social media feeds are still filled with responses to the whole Miley Cyrus twerking/nude underwear situation. I&amp;#039;ve heard of Naked Breast-feeding Yoga mom maybe once. I am the mother of a small daughter who is about to enter public school and the era of un-parent-mediated-pop-culture-references. I can only shelter her from the media&amp;#039;s onslaught of sexualized girls for so long.  Therefore, I am seriously concerned by images of young girls acting overtly sexual in order to get attention, and then getting said attention. It just continues to feed the whole cycle of females being valued for their bodies instead of their entire selves. This feels like a threat to my little girl&amp;#039;s well-being. A zany lady who does yoga, breastfeeds her baby, wants to spread acceptance of the beauty of our physical bodies, and believes in working to &amp;quot;evolve our way of life so it is in tune and in real harmony with Mother Earth?&amp;quot; This is not a threat to anyone.    Amy Shearn is the mother of two small children and the proprietress of Household Words, a blog about babies, books, and Brooklyn. She also writes for Oprah.com and MommyPoppins.com. Amy is the author of the novel How Far Is the Ocean From Here (Shaye Areheart/Crown 2008) and a new novel about, what else, a Brooklyn mother, called The Mermaid of Brooklyn.
