17 Times Pink Got Real About Motherhood: 'Quick Nap Here While This IPad Babysits'
Over the years, Pink has proven herself to be not just a great lady of pop music, but also a pretty cool mom. She is all about no-shame breastfeeding, napping, and body positivity.
pink coolest mom ever
When she used her postpartum body as a body-positive teaching moment for her daughter, Willow.
Caption: “Willow said to me the other day whilst grabbing my belly-“mama-why r u so squishy?”And I said…”b/cuz I’m happy baby.”
When she didn’t fuss about her daughter’s interesting bike-riding habits or people’s opinions about it.
Caption: “Yeah my kid rides her bike inside. Without clothes. And helmets. While I ignore her and look at my phone. #failingbeautifully #loveinthebigapplein2017″
Here she is, just casually cooking dinner with Jameson strapped to her chest while Willow supervises. Mom’s gotta multi-task.
When Willow was embarrassed by her on her sixth birthday.
Caption: “Headed to my kids kindergarten class to bring rice crispy treats for her sixth birthday. It’s weird that she’s embarrassed by me. Not like I wear a lot of bizarre colorful fun make up or anything like I’m pretending to be a popstar. Kids these days.”
When she took this pretty bad*ss pregnancy shot with Willow.
When she shut down haters for having “concerns” about her body weight.
When people attacked her for microwaving a decaf coffee while pregnant. SO WHAT?! Sit down and enjoy, Pink — we got your back.
Caption: “When microwaving your decaf coffee becomes an excuse to sit on the floor and rest for a while…#help #reststop #illjustbehereifyouneedme”
When she threw a pretty awesome Big Sister party for her daughter, Willow.

Behold — the master of multitasking.

And again. Here she is breastfeeding her son, Jameson, while hiking.

Shutting down the body shamers about her postpartum body once again.
Caption: “Would you believe I’m 160 pounds and 5’3”? By ‘regular standards’ that makes me obese. I know I’m not at my goal or anywhere near it after Baby 2 but dammit I don’t feel obese. The only thing I’m feeling is myself. Stay off that scale ladies! #feelingmyself #strongismygoal #bodygoals @msjeanettejenkins #happysaturday #getitin #GIJaneismyWCW”
When she and Willow were a little nervous about their long drive alone with Jameson.
Caption: “Super excited about this 3 1/2 hour drive with baby strapped in tightly and correctly. #herewego #gypsylife #tourlife #rehearsalsarefarawaybecauseicantkeepmyfeetontheground #familyband #dayone necklaces by @roxanneassoulin”
When she needed a nap more than her newborn.
Caption: “Oh my god I’m so tired my soul has a headache, but I’m so okay with it so whatever I’m just gonna take this little catnap real quick wake me up in ten seconds.”
When she had dance rehearsals with Jameson strapped to her chest.
Caption: “Day three #multitasking #tinydancer.”
She’s mastered the art of napping while simultaneously spending time with daughter, Willow. (She also asked for the Instagram police to bring on the judgy comments.)
Caption: “‘Babe, Mamas just gonna take a quick nap here while this iPad babysits you.’ #multitasking #mamastired #rehearsals #whydokidswakeupsoearly #herfavoritemovieisgremlins #whatchagotformeinstagrampolice”
She took Willow backstage at the Dodger’s Stadium during a rock concert. If that ain’t awesome, we don’t know what is.
Caption “Dodgers stadium. Billy Joel. New York State of mind. Try. Axl Rose. Cuddles. Check please.”
She got real about breast pumping with a hilarious selfie.
Caption: “And now this #pumpupthejams #mombreak”
