She opened up to a US magazine about breastfeeding and how that affected her normal life after giving birth.

“After we got home from the hospital, I didn’t shower for a week, and then John and I were like, ‘Let’s go out for dinner,’ ” she says. “I could last only about an hour because my boobs were exploding. When the milk first comes in, it’s like a tsunami. But we went, just to prove to ourselves that we could feel normal for a second.”

But she also said that it has been quite a change with another child in the picture.

“When there was just one kid, somebody would get to sit down. Now nobody gets a break,” she says. “But John is the most unbelievable daddy. He prioritises Hazel so she doesn’t miss me too much because I’ve been so consumed with the baby.”
