Olivia Wilde: "It's the most natural thing"

New mum Olivia Wilde has posed for the September issue of Glamour Magazine, but it wasn’t your average photo shoot.

The 30-year-old actress can be seen breastfeeding her gorgeous son Otis, telling the publication “‘Being shot with Otis is so perfect because any portrait of me right now isn’t complete without my identity as a mother being a part of that. Breastfeeding is the most natural thing.”

The star, who is engaged to actor Jason Sudeikis, shared one of the images on Twitter with the caption:

“Otis ordered milkshakes. Luckily I had some on me. Then he peed on my dress. Good kid. #boobfood #whennaturecalls”

The star, who is currently filming an HBO pilot, revealed that she never worried about juggling work and a career, thanks to the example set by her mum.

“My mom is such a badass working mother. That inspired me when I was pregnant. I wasn’t going to sacrifice myself because I was becoming a mother.”

What did you learn from your mum that you carried on with your kids?

Making them as adaptable as possible by exposing them to lots of people and things!

I loved breast feeding my son, it felt like the most natural thing in the world. I was never embarrassed to feed him in public. My mum was often with me and always supported me and I love her for that.

That’s what happens (or is a chance of) when you don’t have a nappy on bub.

  She is lucky the baby didn’t do number twos as well. (it stains some fabrics too, no matter what you use to try to remove it).My cousin always took spare tops for herself and needed one on more than one occasion even though she always used towels etc. when burping baby.

Great photo – hope there are many more such images, given the ridiculous attempts to censor photos of breastfeeding and the absurd demands that women be “discreet” when feeding in public etc.

Can’t say I’ve ever looked that glamourous while breastfeeding!! But I love how calm and peaceful the baby looks – beautiful!

Sounds like she had a great pregnancy and birth. Awesome.

My mum was amazing and taught me all my wonderful craft skills which I am now teaching my kids.
They can cook, sew, knit, play musical instruments, take photos, sing,dance and most of all have fun.
