Angelina Jolie: Breastfeeding is 'much harder than being pregnant'

I did it for about three months and that was it.  I don't sit still well.  I ended up walking around a lot with her when I was doing it.

I was pregnant when (we) were preparing ‘A Mighty Heart’. I had Shiloh, then I breastfed, then I did the film. I was breastfeeding but I could only do so much. It’s hard. It was much harder than being pregnant.

As for recommendations by the United Nations that women breastfeed for two years, Angelina noted that "in Africa they don't have many alternatives and the water is not safe so I guess it makes sense to breastfeed for two years."

Shiloh, 14-months, is Angelina's child with partner Brad Pitt.
