Outspoken model mum Gisele Bundchen wants breastfeeding to be law for the first six months of a child's life.
The supermodel, who courted controversy by saying pregnant women treated their bodies like garbage disposals, has now weighed in on breastfeeding.
She claims breastfeeding her new son Benjamin allowed her to regain her figure so quick that she was back posing in swimwear just six weeks after giving birth.
"I think breastfeeding really helped me (keep my figure)," she told US Harper's Bazaar.
"Some people here 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."
Bundchen has risked the wrath of new mums everywhere in the interview, also claiming giving birth didn't hurt because she prepared through meditation.
"It prepared me mentally and physically. It's called 'labour' not 'holiday' for a reason, and I knew that," she said.
"You want to go into the most intense physical experience of your life unprepared? That doesn't make any sense to me.
"I wasn't expecting someone else to get the baby out of me."
