Gisele Bundchen wants international law on breastfeeding

giseleSupermodel Gisele Bundchen seems to be joining the pro-breastfeeding movement after she made a statement that she believes there should be an international law that requires all mothers to breastfeed during the first six months of their baby’s lives.

The hottie from Brazil gave birth to a child seven months ago and compared feeding a baby formula to feeding it chemical food.  She also said that breastfeeding helped her regain her figure.  Bundchen also stated that breastfeeding is the best way to avoid giving a child any chemicals at a young age.

It is from here that she went on to say that there should be a law to make sure that mothers breastfeed.  Of course, Bundchen is not your typical mother given that she practiced kung fu in the two months before she delivered and used mediation to deal with the pain of the labour.

According to Gisele, Kung Fu helped her get ready for the birth both physically and mentally and that there is a very clear reason why giving birth is called labour and not a holiday.  She said that people should not head towards one of the most intense physical experiences of their lives unprepared for what was to come.

Although Gisele was sincere about her statements, the medical community laughed over them given it is unrealistic and not called for as it is up to women to decide for themselves whether they want to breastfeed or not.
