Bring on the brelfies!

It doesn't matter why you're taking a breastfeeding selfie — whether you're posting to share the intimate moment with friends, hoping to #NormalizeBreastfeeding, or just as proof of successfully making it through the day — these sweet snaps are taking over social media thanks to the proud celebrity and everyday mamas out there who aren't afraid to breastfeed in public.

A mother nursing her child is such a special moment that can be emotional, hysterical, and empowering, so why not show it off? But like any good selfie, the perfect brelfie takes skills to get it just right. So when you're ready to bare your boob on Instagram (in such a meaningful way, of course!), remember these rules to achieve the ultimate breastfeeding snapshot.

Don't overthink it
Cram in the cute
Don't be camera shy
Multitask like a boss
Consider your filter
Have a sense of humor
Embrace the outtakes
Play up your best angle
Only share what you're comfortable with
Get everyone in on the action
Don't forget to accessorize
Take advantage of quiet moments
Don't forget to hashtag
Embrace the boob pillow
Remember: each moment is worth 1,000 clicks
