Every mom will raise her child in a different way from the next. That's because every baby is different, every woman has a different lifestyle, and every woman's body is different.
Women should support and encourage each other in whatever way each decides to be a mother. Everyone knows that it's not an easy job, and when it comes to being a mom, well… Mother does know best.
Breastfeeding has become a pretty touchy subject in today's news. Should women breastfeed in public? For how long should women breastfeed? Should women push others to do as they do?
The celebrity voice is a very strong one when it comes to this subject, since the spotlight shines so brightly on them and their opinions are often louder than others.
These seven celebrity mothers have used their loud voices to get their opinions about breastfeeding out to the world. What do you think of what each of these women has to say about it?
Please SHARE these strong moms with your family and friends on Facebook!
