Adorable! Mum Proudly Shares Inspiring Photo Of Herself Breastfeeding Her Twins And Working Simultaneously
To prove motherhood does not hold a woman back from being a career mum, an artist and mum of twins, Hein Koh, has shared an inspiring photo of herself breastfeeding her twins and working simultaneously.
She shared the ‘throwback’ photo above, of when her twins were just five weeks old, on Facebook with the caption:
“Despite the sleep deprivation and frequent (every 2-3 hours, 24/7, 45 minutes at a time) breastfeeding , I was still getting sh** done.”
Hein also reacted to the thoughts of Yugoslavian artist, Marina Abramovic, who stirred controversy after she said she ‘thinks children hold women back in the art world’ and admitted to have had three abortions because having kids will be a ‘disaster’ for work.
Hein said:
“All Marina knows is her own experience, and it may be true for her, but that is not everyone’s experience nor truth.
“Becoming a mom (of twins no less) has personally helped me become a better artist – I learned to be extremely efficient with my time, prioritize what’s important and lt go of the rest, and multitask like a champ.
”I learned to function (even if barely) on very little sleep, and out of the chaos, insanity and even torture at times, a flood of new emotions entered into my work, becoming more interesting and layered as a result.
”What I am saying is that parenting is like any other challenge in life – the biggest f***ing challenge in my own life thus far – and if you embrace it and figure out creative solutions, you can emerge a better person.”
