Kelly Rutherford Says Breastfeeding Great for Weight Loss

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

When actress Kelly Rutherford became pregnant with her second baby, due this summer, she decided she still wanted to keep breastfeeding her 2 year old son Hermes. “It’s an amazing bond with your child. Some cultures do it up to five years, normally.”

Kelly also said that breast feeding has been great in helping her lose the initial baby weight and for maintaining her figure. “I was thinner after my pregnancy than before, and I think a lot of it was the nursing. They say it helps your body get back into shape in a natural way.”

She always looks amazing to me when she’s on Gossip Girl - I loved her in the O.C. too!
