Gisele Bundchen wants breastfeeding to be law

“I think breastfeeding really helped. Some people here 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?’ There should be a worldwide law, in my opinion, that mothers should breastfeed their babies for six months,” she told Harper’s Bazaar.

Gisele also suggested she found giving birth to be a painless process, as she practised kung fu and yoga while pregnant, “It prepared me mentally and physically, It's called ‘labour’, not ‘holiday’ for a reason, and I knew that.

“You want to go into the most intense physical experience of your life unprepared? That doesn't make any sense to me. Then I was ready and I thought, ‘OK let's get to work’. I wasn't expecting someone else to get the baby out of me. I had to do it together with him.”

Although Gisele isn’t the first celebrity to talk openly about breastfeeding, she definitely has a very controversial opinion on the subject. Have a look at our step-by-step guide to breastfeeding.
