Olivia Wilde, who gave birth in April, celebrates motherhood by breastfeeding her son Otis as part of a striking photo shoot in the September issue of Glamour magazine.
“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,” she tells the magazine. Breast-feeding is the most natural thing. I don’t know, now it feels like Otis should always be on my breast.
Olivia says the intimate picture shows her as a “multifaceted woman.” She explains:
“You can be someone who is at once maternal and professional and sexy and self-possessed [But] I mean, I certainly don’t really look like that when I’m [typically] breast-feeding. And there’s usually a diaper involved.”
Olivia also says she was never worried about the difficulties of being a working mother.
“My mom is such a badass working mother,” she tells the mag. “That inspired me when I was pregnant. I wasn’t going to sacrifice myself because I was becoming a mother.”
Olivia is among a growing list of celebrities who to proudly promote breastfeeding in the spotlight, including #GiseleBundchen, #MirandaKerr and #GwenStefani.
