One person said, “This is truly the coolest, most beautiful and feminine thing I’ve seen in forever,” while another person commented, “Even extremely talented athletes slip and fall every now and then. Was the risk to your child really worth the Facebook likes?”

Ms Wright recently spoke to the Huffington Post about the video saying:

“When she wants to dance with me, I always attempt to place her on my back as it allows me to do more moves than if she is on my front or side.”

“Yet 98 percent of the time, the reason why she is on me is because she wants to nurse and would rather not wait. And the thing is, I would rather not stop what I am doing to nurse her. If I always stopped what I wanted to do to nurse Shannon, I would never get anything done; especially if it is taking the time to achieve fitness goals and do things that pour into me, for my rejuvenation, for my balance.”
