Since having her first child 7 months ago, model Gisele Bundchen has been outspoken on her views of child birth and raising a baby.

In a new interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Gisele talks about the benefits that she has had from breastfeeding her 7 month old son Benjamin. “I think breastfeeding really helped (me keep me figure),” says Bundchen. “Some people here (in the US) 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.”

The model, who had spoke out about her natural birth and said that it “didn’t hurt in the slightest,” also reveals how she prepared herself for giving birth by meditating. She reveals, “It prepared me mentally and physically. It’s called ‘labour’ not ‘holiday’ for a reason, and I knew that. You want to go into the most intense physical experience of your life unprepared? That doesn’t make any sense to me. Then I was ready and I thought OK, let’s get to work’. I wasn’t expecting someone else to get the baby out of me.”

Benjamin is the first child for Gisele while her husband Tom Brady has a son with his ex Bridget Moynahan.
