Breastfeeding Celebrities
Yet another celebrity is saying that breastfeeding helped her lose the baby weight. Christina Aguilera, who had her first postpartum interview on the Ellen show (you can watch the interview, which is awfully cute, here) sporting an enormous rack and teeny tiny waist told Access Hollywood:
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.
As much as I find it difficult to believe that breastfeeding is doing all of the work for her, I agree with Monica’s comment yesterday about celebrities who talk about breastfeeding. Monica wrote:
I still like it when celebrities speak about breastfeeding at all just to spread the word. Personally if someone’s breastfeeding for the “wrong” reasons, whether for losing weight or celebrity worship, I don’t really care. It’s still better than if they never tried it at all!
I’m with you Monica. I just wish I had a team to whip me into shape when breastfeeding doesn’t magically make my baby weight disappear.
