Celebs basking in the glory of the boob! What did these famous mamas and what they have to say about their breastfeeding adventures…
1. “All I ever heard was everyone bitch about it – nobody ever said, ‘You are not going to believe how emotional this is.’ It’s like, I’ll say I’m going to stop, and then I’m in there, feeding her.”
– Jennifer Garner via People
2. “Breastfeeding has been one of the best experiences of my life… I love it! I can’t stop… I think I’m going to breastfeed him until he goes to college! I’m hooked!”
– Shakira via US Weekly
3. “I’m like an alcoholic… It’s like, I don’t care if I cry, I don’t care if I’m fat, I’m just gonna do it for one more week, one more month, and then, when I see how much good it is doing her, I can’t stop.”
– Salma Hayek via The Sunday Times
4. “Breastfeeding should not be taboo, and bottlefeeding should not be judged. It’s ALL fun for the whole family.”
– Jaime King
5. “I think breastfeeding is healthy and natural and it’s a comfort to my baby so I can give a shit what somebody else thinks.”
– Pink On the ‘Alan Carr: Chatty Man’ show in 2012
6. “We all have nipples. I don’t care who I offend; my baby wants to eat. If I can’t get a cover over me quick enough, so be it.”
– Selma Blair via People
7. “What I’ve been told is it’s important to have the bonding latch right away. Everyone I know who had pain in the beginning says how amazing it was after the first two weeks – that the insane feelings of ecstasy while baby nurses are the best ever, and that it’s so worth the baracuda jaws for two weeks.”
– Alicia Silverstone wrote on her blog, The Kind Life
8. “I’m busy milking all day long. I feel like I have probably lost a good 75 per cent of my brain power… I say it halved itself and it halved itself again. It’s not just the sleep deprivation, it is the breastfeeding and I call it the ‘lactose lobotomy.’”
– Naomi Watts via Celebrity Baby Scoop
9. “It’s like two little liposuction machines on you … they suck the fat out of you. They call it the ‘double football hold’. You hold one here and here, like two footballs … They’re doing God’s work right there, helping me return to my birth weight.”
– Modern Family’s Julie Bowen on breastfeeding her twin sons.
10. “My theory is that nursing gives you superhuman powers. How else could I be doing all this when I’m usually a sleepaholic?”
– Gwen Stefani via People
