Actress Kelly Rutherford and Breastfeeding
December 20, 2008
Here's a story about the Gossip Girl star Kelly Rutherford.... apparently she's breastfeeding her toddler.
Personally, I had no idea who she is. I don't watch Gossip Girls. And when I saw her picture I confused her with another actress who is in Lost. But that's not so relevant.
Bottom line... it's great to see a celebrity talking about extended breastfeeding in The New York Daily News:
Rutherford, 40, whose second child with hubby Daniel Giersch is due this summer, decided to keep breastfeeding for as long as possible after being inspired by the doula who cared for her when her son Hermes was an infant.
"She had breastfed her children anywhere from two to four years of age and let them naturally wean themselves," Rutherford says. "All of her kids are super strong, healthy smart kids. So I just decided, well, I will try it and just see how it goes."
Rutherford travels frequently and says breastfeeding her two-year-old makes a lot of sense when she takes him along, since he hasn't been prone to any earaches while airborne.
