A portmanteau of 'breastfeeding' and 'selfie', a brelfie is a photo a mother takes of herself nursing her baby — often shared on social media as a statement of normalcy, pride, or advocacy around breastfeeding in public. The term caught on in the mid-2010s as part of broader conversations about body autonomy and maternal visibility. Some post brelfies to destigmatize nursing; others just want to document those quiet bonding moments.
