Erykah Badu & daughter Puma
Aren't they adorable?? Here's what she has to say about breastfeeding her son Seven: "When I first had the baby, I was breastfeeding for two years straight, so we were together for two years of his life - every day, all hours of the day. So I was two people, and I eventually morphed back into one. Now he's part of me. He's very independent as a result of it. I thought it was going to be the opposite. I was very worried that he was going to be attached since we were together every day, but I guess it made him feel comfortable: 'I know she's around. She'll be there.' It made me feel like a very responsible person and tidy, and my health was better because I'm now responsible for someone's whole reason for being."

How does Halle feel bout bfing?? from http://www.entertainmentwise.com/news/42130/halle-berry-talks-about-breastfeeding: "Halle Berry was bursting out of her dress at her first public appearance since giving birth to Nahla Ariela Aubry six weeks ago, but left before the party got started so she could breastfeed her daughter.
The oscar-winning actress wore a figure-enhancing leopard print dress to the Celebrity Charity Golf Tournament in Beverly Hills, and although she didn’t take up a round, she happily posed for pictures.One lucky golfer at the event told People: 'She stood right next to me and posed. So sweet and funny. She said she wasn't playing because she was taking care of the baby.'
However, Halle made a hasty getaway at 4pm. Making an announcement on stage, she explained: 'I'm going to have to leave. My baby is calling for my breast. So, if I don't see everyone later, thank you!'"
LOVE it Halle!!!
Nelly Furtado & dtr Nevis
"I was pregnant for nine months and breastfeeding for two years. My body was completely hijacked; for all the best reasons, but for that time it wasn't mine. So once that was all over, I got to rediscover my body. I had all these new curves and I loved them!"
-Nelly Furtado, on sensuality post-baby
Jada Pinkett-Smith & daughter Willow
Here's what Jada Pinkett-Smith had to say about breastfeeding son Jaden:
"[I breastfed him] a good 18 months. That baby never even saw a bottle. He went everywhere with me — premieres, award shows. I would just find a back room and hook him up."
Mel B & baby Angel
"I pushed and the baby was out in four minutes. It must have been the easiest birth. She was checked out and I was breastfeeding. It was that quick. I don’t think my mum even had time to cry. Phoenix had been asleep and was woken up by her newborn sister crying."
-Mel B on her easy birth & easy breastfeeding relationship w/ dtr Angel.
Ione Rucker Jamison & kids
"With my son, I only breastfed for 1 month — this was because my son did not take to the breast well. He was given a bottle in the hospital, due to me needing rest, and then when I went to breastfeed he was not used to the milk coming in slower. I fought through it for a month but then my milk started drying up. My daughter never got a bottle, she took to the breast right away. "
-Ione Rucker Jamison, wife of NBA star Antwan Jamison, on how supplementation can cause breastfeeding problems.
Christina Aguilera & baby Max Liron
