It's true! Sources who've seen the photos confirm exclusively to Life & Style that Angelina Jolie really did pose for the cover story of W magazine while breast-feeding!

"Angelina posed for Brad [Pitt] in one of the photos while breast-feeding," the source reveals to Life & Style. "It's really beautiful and tastefully done."

Oh, maybe I am just in a foul mood, but "tastefully done" bothers me because there is a reverse implication that breastfeeding could - oh heaven forbid - be distasteful.

Or am I just reading too much into the comment?

No you aren't reading too much into it. I think the picture is beautiful but the teaser line on the cover of the mag, "Brad Pitt's private photos of Angelina!" is really suggestive an annoys me to be right next to a lovely photo of a beautiful woman nursing her child.

I was hoping you would be able to see the baby in the pic.

I'm not in a foul mood and it annoyed me too. It's so hard to get "tasteful" pics of breastfeeding.

I'm kinda disappointed by the pic. If I hadn't been told she was nursing I don't know if I would have noticed.

I was just coming to post this.

It is cool that such a high profile person is doing it and proud.

The tastefully done stuff doesn't bother me much. Whatever. I think they just mean that it isn't obvious playboy-type stuff... truly capturing the beauty of the relationship rather than sex.

I *LOVE* the photo! You can see lots of top boob. It's a comfy nightgown/top, just pulled right down casually to nurse. No blankets, no baby covering, no shame. And you can see the baby's hand. And she looks SOOO happy.

Sorry, I love it! I think it does great things for breastfeeding normalcy and promotion. I love it.

I personally wouldn't want more of me visible on a magazine cover while breastfeeding. I don't cover while NIP but I don't want anyone to see my nipple either, if I can help it.

I think it's a lovely, warm, pro-bf photo.

I think it is a beautiful picture. I especially love the little fingers poking up. It think it is nothing but great that such a high profile Mom is so proud to be breastfeeding, and even better it is twins!!

Hey, that's some real progress in my opinion. Yay!

I'm not a fan of hers (she's gorgeous but I want to roll my eyes at her all the time, a reflex habit from 10 years ago when she was more... well, you know) but I think this is awesome.

I'm glad to see it and I'll probably buy the magazine if I can find it.

She's so beautiful.

I was trying to imagine what a pic of me nursing would look like....no makeup, messy hair, glasses and sweats. And dark circles under my eyes.

I think it's a gorgeous photo. For many of us, that's what nursing looks like. It's discreet inofitself with no real effort on our part. I think it's an intimate photo because it was taken by her lover very shortly after the birth of her twins in their Chateau with her in her nightgown. Babymoons are an intimate time. A milky, hazy, exhausting, content, blissful time. That's the nature of the beast.

I think it's an amazingly beautiful picture. I love that little "starfish" hand sticking up.
