Breastfeed Like a Supermodel

Gisele Bündchen, supermodel and super mom, shows us all how easy and beautiful breastfeedling can be.

Moms, we all look like this, don't we? Wearing a fresh, fluffy white robe, getting our makeup and hair done by a team of experts. All while peacefully breastfeeding our child.

Umm...no. Many "regular" aka non-supermodel moms say this Instagram photo shared by supermodel Gisele Bündchen does not represent the reality of breastfeeding. Many new moms say they are lucky if they find time to get a daily shower.

Bündchen admits that she has a team of stylists who help her look as amazing as she does, in a story shared on our partner The Huffington Post. But she also reportedly said that “there should be a worldwide law...that mothers should breastfeed their babies for six months."

After Bündchen posted a photo on Instagram of her nursing her 1-year-old daughter Vivian while getting ready for a photo shoot, moms reacted. Some felt that it was a great example of a working mom still tending to her kids. Others felt it was simply an unrealistic look at what it means to be a working mother.
