It’s bad enough we have to see a supermodel reclaim her world-famous figure just six weeks after giving birth, but now Gisele Bundchen is being quite vocal in her thoughts about how she believes breastfeeding should be mandatory for the first six months of a newborn’s life.
Per Us:
“Some people here (in the US) think they don’t have to breastfeed, and I think ‘Are you going to give chemical food to your child when they are so little?’ I think there should be a worldwide law, in my opinion, that mothers should breastfeed their babies for six months.”
She’s not the first woman to advocate breastfeeding, though she may be the founding pioneer for nursing by law. Bundchen says that breastfeeding “really helped me keep my figure,” and was the reason she was able strut her stuff in a bikini just a few months after giving birth. But if there ever was such a law of the land, she would be the number one offender – Son Benjamin was only breastfed for three weeks.
“I probably should have persevered a bit longer than three weeks, but I can’t be sitting in Starbucks and breastfeeding because they (photographers) are taking pictures.”
Cracks me up when women who have one baby and are pretty new to the whole ‘mommy-thing’ think they are parenting experts and know just how every other mother should parent their children.
