The magazine's founder, Claire Rothstein, shared the image on Instagram on Wednesday.
"This shoot was about 6 months post her giving birth to her son, so between shots she was expressing/pumping as still breastfeeding... Breastfeeding is the most normal thing in the world and I can't for the life of me imagine why or how it is ever frowned upon or scared of," Claire wrote while sharing the picture, which shows Rachel with her jacket open to reveal a breast pump.
"I don't even think it needs explaining but just wanted to put this out there, as if it even changes one person's perception of something so natural, so normal, so amazing then that's great," she added.
