A swimsuit model Mara Martin has made news after she strutted her stuff at Miami Swim Week, breastfeeding her newborn baby. Martin, dressed in a gold one-shoulder bikini, hit the unway as part of the 2018 Sports Illustrated Swim Search show on Sunday, while also breastfeeding her five-month-old daughter Aria. According to The Sun, Martin was chosen as just one of 16 finalists for the fashion show, held at the W Hotel in South Beach. She has earlier posted a message to Instagram expressing how excited she was to be participating.
“I’m so so so thankful for the entire team at Sports Illustrated for picking me!” She continued; “I can’t believe I am waking up to headlines with me and my daughter in them for doing something I do every day,” she wrote. “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!”
