Multi-tasking mum Gisele breastfeeds while getting glammed up

Supermodel Gisele Bundchen posted this image of her breastfeeding her daughter on Instagram.

In the image Gisele, 33, is pictured nursing her 12-month-old daughter Vivian while getting her hair, makeup and nails done.

“What would I do without this beauty squad after the 15 hours flying and only three hours of sleep,” Gisele wrote.

Gisele is an outspoken breastfeeding advocate and her rather militant stance on the topic has got her into trouble in the past.

In 2010, she told Harper’s Bazaar UK that she thought there should be a “worldwide law” that mothers breastfeed their babies for at least six months.

The provocative comment caused controversy around the world, with women who are unable to breastfeed complaining she made them feel guilty and like criminals.

She later clarified the comments, writing on her blog: “I understand that everyone has their own experience and opinions and I am not here to judge. I believe that bringing life into this world is the single most important thing a person can undertake and it can able be the most challenging. I think as mothers we are all just trying our best.”

Gisele isn’t the only supermodel who enjoys posting pictures of herself breastfeeding online – our own Miranda Kerr has shared two images of herself nursing son Flynn.
