Milano had also received positive feedback on Twitter, including from women who shared their own breastfeeding photos.

"But the coolest part of the whole thing, the coolest part without a doubt, is that I got so much support from the women that do breastfeed, and if you're on Twitter and you go into my 'Favorites,' you'll see, I got hundreds, I favorited all of them, I got hundreds of selfies of women breastfeeding—'brealfies—that they sent me in solidary and support and it was so lovely," she said on The Talk.

Among the positive reactions: "@Alyssa_Milano thank you for helping to #normalizebreastfeeding you're amazing," "@Alyssa_Milano if someone isn't comfortable, then stop looking #normalizebreastfeeding," "@Alyssa_Milano one day old and we are doing great! #normalizebreastfeeding" and "I support @Alyssa_Milano! Did everyone forget Charmed season 7 'Bare Witch Project'? #NormalizeBreastfeeding."

In a season-seven episode of Charmed, which aired in 2004, Milano's character, the good witch Phoebe, and sister Piper, played by Holly Marie Combs, are refused service at a coffee shop after the latter breastfeeds her child inside. Phoebe later channels Lady Godiva by appearing nude on horseback in public in a bid to make a statement.

"This man is living in the 11th century," she says. "He wants women to be barefoot and pregnant and stay at home. He thinks we should be ashamed of breastfeeding, the most natural thing in the world. Well, shame on him. I'm not ashamed and neither should you be."
