Bollywood Actresses Who Breastfeed Their Babies

There is the moment when you first hold your baby in your arms. And then, in an instant, there is the moment when you let go of his hand and let him run ahead, charting his own path in life. Our life is very fleeting and the good times seem to gallop away overnight. Remember those days when you were breastfeeding your baby? There were challenges, you were worried whether your infant was well-fed, and there were a million things your family and friends recommended. But what eventually kept you sane was the love you two share. For some of our favourite Bollywood moms too, the motherhood experience has been full of learnings and wonder…

Bollywood Actresses and Breastfeeding

Some of these are so relateable, they could be yours!

Aishwarya Rai
Aishwarya Rai Aish’s little daughter Aaradhya is already almost five years old but it seems only the other day when she was born! This mom, always renowned for her stunning beauty and fitness, had a difficult time right after childbirth especially as she became the target of the ‘weight-watchers’. These people felt and commented, totally unnecessarily, that she had put on too much weight and didn’t look as ravishing anymore. But all this didn’t stop Aishwarya from focusing completely on her child.

As per reports, she continued breastfeeding for a long time and made sure she got the correct nutrition both for herself and for her daughter. If that meant eating for two and gorging on goondh ke laddoo, she did it all! In fact, the way Aish stayed away from worrying about sagging breasts or trying to get into shape overnight inspired a lot of others. Here’s what blogger Shobha De said about this:

“Ash has chosen to invest in her daughter, rather than hit the gym neurotically or starve herself to fit into those old jeans. Ash has her priorities in place – her mommie-time with the baby could well be the best decision of her life. Besides, the glow of motherhood is the best cosmetic in the world…”

We couldn’t have put it better!

Lara Dutta
Lara Dutta Lara’s daughter also seems to be growing up super-fast. Saira is four years old now and together with her gorgeous mom, makes an adorable picture! After Saira was born, Lara would regularly and consistently breastfeed her. She found that this helped build Saira’s immunity. Over time, it also helped Lara tone her body and lose the extra kilos she had put on during pregnancy!

Today, Lara is an active supporter of breastfeeding and always encourages young moms to breastfeed their babies. She strongly believes that nursing is an excellent way to not only bond with your child but also to get back in shape.

“Being a mother is the most beautiful aspect of a woman’s life. It is also a great responsibility. As a mother I want to help all new and expectant mothers understand the importance of breastfeeding. Apart from exercising and dieting, breastfeeding helped me to tone my body up to get back to acting.”

Karishma Kapoor
Karishma Kapoor This mom’s story is a delicious one – it is all about food! When Karishma became a mom, she was very careful to not give in to the pressures of dieting or strenuous workouts. But what she definitely did was eat healthy. Her postnatal meal included dairy products, soups and salads, and lots of protein. At this stage, protein plays a critical role for your body. This is why Karishma ate a lot of fish and chicken – yum!

“Women often have various notions about some foods which should or shouldn’t be eaten when they are pregnant. And when it is about shedding kilos after pregnancy, it becomes even more crucial to lose weight in a safe manner without depriving your body of the essential nutrients. After all, you need to breastfeed your baby and manage other tasks as well and not eating right will only harm your body.”

Sonali Bendre
Sonali Bendre After Sonali became a mom, she tried to follow recommendations by her family members and experts. But with time, she found that a lot of these things didn’t work out for her. In fact, when she tried to create a time table for breastfeeding and weaning, that didn’t work out either! She understood eventually how all babies are different and mummying is an ongoing lesson for life…

“While baby books typically prescribe a regimental chart of how and when to wean babies off breast milk, that approach just didn’t work for me. For everything that new mothers are told and taught, every child is different and sometimes you need to try different things. There’s no hard and fast rule.”
