As someone who was back modelling swimwear six weeks after giving birth, Gisele Bundchen's experience of motherhood is not exactly ordinary.
But that hasn't stopped the supermodel deciding to share with us lesser mortals her insights on how best to raise children.
The 30-year-old Brazilian reckons there should be a 'worldwide law' that new mothers should all breastfeed for six months.
Gisele, who gave birth seven months ago, won back her flawless figure days after Benjamin Rein was born.
The model, who is 5ft 11in and weighs nine stone, gave birth at home and apparently managed to meditate throughout. Model behaviour: Gisele said breastfeeding really helped her to lose her baby weight

Naturally, she then got up and made pancakes.
She told September's issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine: 'Not for one second did it cross my mind that I was not going to have my baby at home.

You are one very sick, but funny, person.
I’m thinking if this actually gets to be a law, I could make a career change so that I could help enforce the law. I realize this would require some hands-on training, but I’d be up for it.
Sra. Bundchen is cute but she’s no Penélope Cruz.
If you want to keep that weight off.....gimme a call.
Wait a minute. Say that again.
You sure she means breastfeeding the baby?!?
Oh, never mind.
Like Joan on Mad Men?
Well maybe we finally have something that Bill Clinton can do in the Obama Administration. I mean someone needs to make sure that women are in fact breast feeding their children under Obamacare.
