Breastfeeding Angelina Jolie May Inspire New MomsThe series of intimate family photos that appear in the latest issue of W were captured by Brad Pitt.
Angelina Jolie has been named a role model to new mothers after a picture of her breastfeeding featured on the cover of a W magazine.
The series of intimate family photos that appear in the latest issue of W were captured by Brad Pitt.
"I just finished breast-feeding. It's been hard to get my nutrition back on track and learn about my body after birth. I am doing the best I can," Angelina Jolie said about her breastfeeding experience with Shiloh.
Experts are hoping that the cover shot - Angelina smiling while nursing one of her twins – will encourage other new mothers to breastfeed their babies.
Shannon Fox, a psychotherapist with Momlogic.com, tells Reuters, "If someone as popular, beautiful and together as Angelina is breast-feeding her children, it inspires other women to do so themselves."
La Leche League International spokeswoman Jane Krouse agrees: "Mothers of twins report it takes a lot of time, effort and physical energy to breast-feed.
"I think the picture is beautiful."
