Larissa Waters made international headlines back in May, when she became the first person to breastfeed their baby in Parliament.
Now, Waters, a senator of Australia’s Greens party, was once again feeding her little one in Parliament, but this time it was while she had to stand up to put forward a motion on black lung disease.
Her daughter, Alia Joy, is just 14 weeks old.
Waters tweeted afterwards:
First time I’ve had to move a Senate motion while breastfeeding!
Waters had plenty of support on Twitter, fans praising her “multitasking abilities and paving the way for more women to be allowed to breastfeed at work,” reports abc.

Praise was even extended to Waters’ boss who was pictured holding the babe:
However, not all was positive, as you can imagine.
Waters later tweeted a screenshot of a text message she had received following the incident:
“Lol” indeed.
