One new celeb mum missing from Sunday’s red carpet fashion carousel has an altogether tougher job this awards season. Zoe Saldana recently tweeted about the challenges of breastfeeding her twin sons, Cy and Bowie, in a sentiment that will have many women nodding their heads in sympathy. In less than 140 characters and several hashtags, the Guardians of the Galaxy actress summed up the pain of pumping milk for her hungry brood, with a ‘#breasts hurting’ shout out. We hear you. It just goes to show, even with a (presumed) staff of nannies, nurses and lactation consultants, reality bites – breastfeeding IS tough, even if your boobs and babies are famous.
