Kunis: “It always made my husband and I feel a little weird”
Mila Kunis revealed that people used to give her disapproving looks while nursing her first-born daughter in public, who is now 21 months old.
Kunis, who is expecting a second child with actor Ashton Kutcher, admitted she felt “weird” as people constantly stared while she breastfed her baby.
The Bad Moms star explained to Vanity Fair: “It always made my husband and I feel a little weird. It took us a little back because people actually looked at us in a shameful [way], and we were like, ‘Oh my God,’ because it’s so not a sexual act.”
She also talked about the stigma surrounding the display of private parts, even when not portrayed sexually.
“In the States and in our culture, we sexualize the breast so much that there’s an aspect of it that people just don’t know how to wrap their head around the idea of showing your breast in public. But I respect the opinions on both sides. If it’s not for you, don’t look,” Kunis added.
However, the 32-year-old star ultimately ignored people’s judgment as she was only looking out for her daughter’s well-being.
Kunis added: “I literally breastfed everywhere. There were many times where I didn’t bring a cover with me, and so I just did it in a restaurant, in the subway, in the park, at airports, and in planes.
Why did I do it in public? Because I had to feed my child. She’s hungry. I need to feed her whether it’s out of a bottle or out of my boob no matter where I was.”
Furthermore, the actress revealed that she likes to go for different looks while pregnant, but tries not to reveal her “bump” too much.
“I can get away with different styles that I normally couldn’t since I’m pregnant, but there’s a fine line. There’s a line where I’m like, ‘I feel great. Let’s have fun and do something different and crazy,’ and then it’s like, ‘I don’t know if that’s going to fit in a week. My belly keeps growing and will that outfit still look the same?
“So, I go with whatever dress that is simple and feels right. I play with the size. Everything has to be fitted to a point of expansion. I don’t want to wear anything just to show off my belly.”
