Ok so we all saw this picture that she tweeted with the caption multitasking. And a whole lot of people have had a lot to say about her since then. Some moms are saying the only thing she is doing in this picture is breastfeeding. I guess that is one way to look at it.
I look at it like she is breastfeeding at work. Sure her job looks pretty fabulous to me. I would definitely look a heck of a lot better at Target if I had all these people to help me. But this IS her job people. Getting her hair, makeup and nails done is part of her job. And I think all us moms who choose to breastfeed can relate to trying to pump/breastfeed at work. Part of me is a little envious that she gets to sit in a chair and breastfeed. I usually do this while scrambling eggs and a 1 year old attached to my leg. Now that's multitasking - hee hee. But here is what I love about the picture. She IS breastfeeding. This woman who could afford all the formula in the world is choosing to breastfeed. I always thought motherhood was the great equalizer but then realized with baby nurses and nannies these celebrity moms could skip the 2am and 4 am feeding. But maye breastfeeding is the great equalizer. For breastfeeding isn't something you can mail in. You have to put the time in, either by pumping or actual baby to breast. So I give her credit. And in this society it seems people like to do things celebrities do. So if Gisele convinces more people to breastfeed, I am ok with that too.
