A weight-loss method that doesn't suck: Helena Bonham Carter on breast-feeding her baby son, Billy: "People are like, `You're still breast-feeding, that's so generous.' Generous, no! It gives me boobs and it takes my thighs away! It's sort of like natural liposuction. I'd carry on breast-feeding for the rest of my life if I could."

Way cool! There was a people spread on brooke shields over the summer and I was so pleased that she talked about breastfeeding and using a sling - well now she is a hired hack for some new crappy formula!

Oh, and there was a vogue spread on sarah jessica parker a few months ago and she mentioend that she is still nursing her then 8 mo old.

Very cool.

I was flipping through the channels and caught Kelly Ripa saying that she night nurses her youngest. She seemed embarassed by it, but I thought it was cool that she nurses. I don't know how old her son is though.

She talks about breastfeeding quite a bit. I've been reading up on tidbits about her since LOVING Sweeney Todd, and she keeps mentioning breastfeeding.


Here:

"But right now, Bonham Carter is more preoccupied with her son. “I’m in a bit of a daze because I’m breast-feeding. I put him on and he sucks away and I think, ‘Oh my head’s just vanished’,” she laughs, “but it will be back.”

and:

"Are you the breast-feeding type?
I think it’s wonderful. You know you’re providing a real service. After carrying around your boobs for so long, it’s nice to know they have an actual purpose."

and:

"It’s gonna be difficult the first couple of years. I’ve got Harry Potter to do in February. (She plays Bellatrix Lestrange.) Then I don’t know. I’ll be breast-feeding. I’ll be out of it."

and finally:

"Helena, who will be giving birth to her second child in two weeks, was asked about future film projects. She was quoted as saying she will be, "breast feeding in time for the filming of Harry Potter 6 in February 2008."

I just googled and it looks like her youngest is 4 yo.

Man, those first posts are old (from 2003) I was wondering because some of the people mentioned have kids now, not babies anymore!

I was bored yesterday and I searched 'Helena Bodham Carter', just to see if she was ever mentioned on MDC.
