After boldly stating in the September issue of Harper's Bazaar that she feels breastfeeding "should be a worldwide law", Gisele Bundchen has issued a statement to the many women who got their panties bras in a bunch over the hot topic.

Gisele posted the following message on her blog:

    "My intention in making a comment about the importance of breastfeeding has nothing to do with the law. It comes from my passion and beliefs about children. Becoming a new mom has brought a lot of questions, I feel like I am in a constant search for answers on what might be the best for my child. It’s unfortunate that in an interview sometimes things can seem so black and white. I am sure if I would just be sitting talking about my experiences with other mothers, we would just be sharing opinions. I understand that everyone has their own experience and opinions and I am not here to judge. I believe that bringing a life into this world is the single most important thing a person can undertake and it can also be the most challenging. I think as mothers we are all just trying our best."


Gisele had her first child with hubby Tom Brady back in December, and she credits breastfeeding to getting her model body back in shape for photo shoots just months after she gave birth.
