Nice photo but what's with the heart covering up her boob?

And I would question Maggie G being classes as a celeb - what's she ever really done??

But, I agree, it is great to see someone in the public eye breastfeeding a baby and not just a newborn, and looking happy about it!

BrothelSprouts · 07/06/2007 10:08

I think she's done more than many that are classed as slebs, tbh.
Looove 'The Secretary'.

Pruuni · 07/06/2007 10:08

She's quite a well-known actress.
Good to see but ffs why cover her breast in the picture?
Also like that it's an older baby.

bran · 07/06/2007 10:12

Americans are weird about boobs especially if there is even the slightest glimpse of a nipple, which I guess is why they have covered it up. Remember the fuss about Janet Jacksons "wardrobe failure".

She looks lovely and happy, doesn't she?

SOme of those comments are really annoying though - 'why don't mothers pump before they go out' 'at 8 months a child should be able to wait, or have a snack, they don't need to b/feed' etc etc etc - what you'd expect really

misdee · 07/06/2007 10:19

Cascara · 07/06/2007 10:20

that's beautiful.

btw have you seen this i am outraged!

Cascara · 07/06/2007 10:23

Just been skimming through the comments...

I didn't have the guts to bf ds outside of a feeding room when out, but whenever no. 2 comes along I will definitely be doing it, one, so I don't have to go sit in a room by myself, sometimes one with a changing mat in it, and two, as a big up yours to all the people out there who think boobs are purely sexual objects.

bozza · 07/06/2007 10:29

Go for it cascara. I was a lot more confident with my second than my first. Partly because you have to be really. Try keeping your toddler happy in a changing room while your baby has a feed. I found that taking him to a cafe and buying him a cake and drink and then feeding DD at the same time worked really well.

MrsJohnCusack · 07/06/2007 10:33

I LIKE her. she's a proper actress

the comments are - well, I wish I was suprised, but I'm past being suprised now.

lol at hatrick.

Trinityrhino · 07/06/2007 10:36

i dont even know who she is

but great picture, shouldn't have covered her up like that thought

and ...'an 8 month old should be able to wait' !!!

mrsmalumbas · 07/06/2007 11:46

DrN - well I stand corrected! I have sort of heard of her, but just don't remember actually seeing her in anything IYKWIM. Must be honest, have never heard of any of the fims in your list either - am obviously very culturally unaware!

oliveoil · 07/06/2007 11:52

fgs at those comments on that site

hellooooooooooooooooooooooooo it's 2007

(hatrick - dd1 has some similar from H&M, £4 )

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 07/06/2007 12:00

I like Rock Star Momma's comment though. Good for Maggie - she's not trying to be radical or make a statement. Just feeding a hungry baby.
On a seperate issue, click on the Denise Richards link on the side. Bizarre pic - you can imagine it being produced as evidence to a therapist sometime in the not-too-distant future.

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 07/06/2007 12:08

here

Sakura · 07/06/2007 12:27

I only read a bit of the comments on the facebook site, but well, freedom of speech and all that...people can say what they like- thats why I love Britain.
Im breastfeeding DD (nearly 9 months) in public everywhere, all the time so obviously I dont agree with them. I think they`re idiots, not worth the time of day.
BTW, have you noticed that group has 2 members.

Spider · 07/06/2007 12:27

Ahhhhh! I've always like her.

Sakura · 07/06/2007 12:29

That picture is lovely though. She looks lovely and relaxed. We do need to see more of these.

Pinkveto · 07/06/2007 12:39

is she sat next to keanu reeves?

or do i need glasses?

fab picture, secretary is in my top 10 all time fav films

princessmel · 10/06/2007 10:11

Lovely picture of mg. She looks so relaxed.

about the comments on Denise Richards and her children though. Very cruel IMO.
