As someone who was back modelling swimwear six weeks after giving birth, Gisele Bundchen's experience of motherhood is not exactly ordinary.
But that hasn't stopped the supermodel deciding to share with us lesser mortals her insights on how best to raise children.
The 30-year-old Brazilian reckons there should be a 'worldwide law' that new mothers should all breastfeed for six months.
Gisele, who gave birth seven months ago, won back her flawless figure days after Benjamin Rein was born.
The model, who is 5ft 11in and weighs nine stone, gave birth at home and apparently managed to meditate throughout. Model behaviour: Gisele said breastfeeding really helped her to lose her baby weight

Naturally, she then got up and made pancakes.
She told September's issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine: 'Not for one second did it cross my mind that I was not going to have my baby at home.
'I am not the first person to give birth naturally. Billions of other women have come before me and have done this - so why can't I do it?'
Gisele practised kung fu for two weeks before the birth, did yoga three times a week and meditated every day in preparation.
'It prepared me mentally and physically,' she said. 'It's called "labour", not "holiday" for a reason, and I knew that.

I don’t quite follow. Need pics.
She will need to demonstrate what she’s talking about.
Okay. But, you will need to pay me.
See Post #2 for pics of Leonardo Di Caprio’s former girlfriend.
There ought to be a law that she must adopt me as her infant.
Proof she's not real bright on some matters.
To thin hipped for me,, I like a woman to look like a woman,,not a string bean.......
So I take it that she is pro-life? I mean if our bodies are private... wouldn’t apply to breastfeeding? Therefore she must be NOT in favor of abortion?
If she were my mom, I would demand to be breastfed until I was 18.
Almost dressed-------in Versace.

I am perplexed as to what men see in her. She has the body of a 12 year old boy with fake boobs. And without makeup, she looks like Tom Brady’s brother.
If she thinks she could feed my kid with them little things...
Well, I LOL.
LAZARUS LONG
how many servants does she have?..who brings her her baby?....who cooks?..who cleans?....not her.....she can go jump on her treadmill because she has no responsibilities...
If I were her baby, I’d demand said law as well.
I understand your appreciation of breastfeeding, but please — A LAW TO MAKE SURE WOMEN BREASTFEED ?
How are you going to enforce it ? Are we now going to train people to be breast police ?
Hey, maybe if we have enough unemployed people, we can “make work” by actually having a law like this.
I won’t mind watching supermodels breastfeeding. In fact, If I can’t find a job and such a law came into existence, This man will help them squeeze the milk out if they’re having a hard time :)
Skinny. Needs a burger or two.
