As any mother knows, babies love to cry at the most inopportune moments, but when one bride’s nine-month-old baby started crying during the middle of her wedding ceremony, she knew there was only one way to get her baby to stop crying.
Christina Torino-Benton could tell right away that her baby girl Gemma was hungry when she started crying, and knew feeding her was the only way to calm her down. Despite being in the middle of her own wedding ceremony, the incredible mom pushed down the top of her dress and started breastfeeding her baby.
“I made it work… I had to! Danny has always been so incredibly supportive on this breastfeeding journey, so he just nodded in agreement.” Torino-Benton said of the moment she fed baby Gemma during the ceremony, which was captured by their wedding photographer, Lana Nimmons.
“Christina’s mother passed her the baby and Christina and Danny smiled at each other. Without hesitation, Christina fed her baby. No one was surprised, not even the priest. Christina has always fed her baby when needed, and at one point or another we have all seen her feed Gemma,” Nimmons said.
After the wedding, Christina shared the incredible photo with the Breastfeeding Mama Talk Facebook page, and it quickly went viral. “I’m feeling nothing but positive vibes from the public response,” mom said.
“It took me a while to become comfortable with nursing out in the open, but now it’s completely second nature and I wouldn’t have it any other way,” Christina explained.
