Breastfeeding in the News
- Naomi Watts claims breastfeeding helped her lose weight. “Breastfeeding - that’s how you drop weight. Even though you are just eating all the time, he is eating too”. I totally agree with this, too bad my body didn’t this time around.
- In Sydney, Australia they are pushing to have paid leave for 6 months so breastfeeding moms can feed their babies. There should be word on this soon.
- In Colorado, the breastfeeding bill got some support at capital hill. If this billed is voted yes, more working women will be able to get a few break times a day in order to pump milk. It is undecided if this will be paid or unpaid, but at least it is a step in the right direction. Another added bonus is that companies will make an effort (if passed) to make a private place for them to pump. This goes in front of the council on Monday. Stay tuned.

from Celebrity Baby Blog (yes, I know) and Access Hollywood.
Songstress Christina Aguilera, 27, has been working to lose her baby weight after giving birth to son Max Liron on January 12th. In the process, she has learned the best secret for her is breastfeeding.
I think they say that when you’re breastfeeding, you know, your weight kind of slims down. It’s a little easier. It’s like a workout within itself. It’s very tiring actually and you find yourself snacking more often.
Christina is married to music marketing executive Jordan Bratman, 30.
