Gisele Bundchen usually does not talk about her personal life or her views on anything but ever since she had her baby she has made a few questionable comment and this breastfeeding comment is one of them…so the original comment Harpers Bazaar,
“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.”
This comment sparked an outrage and I think that it is a woman’s choice to breastfeed or not, even though I understand that it may be best for baby…side note I was not breastfeed and I almost never get sick! So Gisele had to back pedel a little…on her blog…
My intention in making a comment about the importance of breastfeeding has nothing to do with the law. It comes from my passion and beliefs about children. Becoming a new mom has brought a lot of questions, I feel like I am in a constant search for answers on what might be the best for my child. It’s unfortunate that in an interview sometimes things can seem so black and white. I am sure if I would just be sitting talking about my experiences with other mothers, we would just be sharing opinions. I understand that everyone has their own experience and opinions and I am not here to judge. I believe that bringing a life into this world is the single most important thing a person can undertake and it can also be the most challenging. I think as mothers we are all just trying our best.
