"Bad Moms" star Mila Kunis strongly believes that mothers should be able to breast feed wherever and whenever they want without being shamed. The actress, who is married to Ashton Kutcher and currently pregnant with their second child, opened up recently about her own experiences of negative societal attitude toward public breastfeeding.
"I need to feed her whether it's out of a bottle or out of my boob, no matter where I was," the 32-year-old told Vanity Fair at the New York premiere of her latest movie "Bad Moms."
The actress revealed how she and her husband have to face the glares from strangers for not covering up while breastfeeding her daughter Wyatt, who is now 21 months old. However, she was quick to add that it does not matter to her what people think and she often breastfeed her child in public if required. She also admitted that the hyper sexualization of breasts in American culture is to blame for the society's judgement against mothers breastfeeding in public.
Kunis will soon be seen in "Bad Moms." The movie is set to hit theatres on July 29 and also stars Kristen Bell, Jada Pinkett Smith and Christina Applegate.
Meanwhile, giving an insight into her changed life after the birth of Wyatt during another interview, Kunis declared that like all other parents chasing after a toddler, she also occasionally needs some down time. The actress admitted that she tries to refuel herself after her daughter goes to sleep.
"From 7pm on, I actually do get the opportunity to make dinner and veg out in front of the TV, and just relax," Kunis told CNN. "I do think those couple hours at the end of the night are my lifesaver."
Earlier on July 20 Wednesday, Kunis appeared on NBC's "Today" to talk about getting back to work after Wyatt's birth. She declared that motherhood completely changed her work ethic, noting that she used cameras to keep tabs on Wyatt while she was on the shoot. She also clarified that the Warner Bros.' movie is the only one that she has filmed between her two pregnancies.
