Kelly Preston Advocates for Breast Feeding


'When I stop, it’s going to be really hard on me,' she tells People magazine. 'I love nursing so much.
'I love the closeness': Kelly Preston, pictured here with husband John Travolta and son Benjamin, has revealed she does not want to stop breastfeeding

'I love the closeness and knowing that I’m giving him the best as far as nutrients and antibodies. And he really loves it, too.'
Kelly, 49, said Benjamin shares her and John's bed, and that she nurses him in the night and up to five times a day.
She added: 'He’ll come up and point and go, "Mama, more." It’s so cute!'

Although Preston may be breastfeeding for longer than the average celebrity, her continuance to feed Ben this way is perfectly healthy.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends 'exclusive breastfeeding is recommended up to 6 months of age, with continued breastfeeding along with appropriate complementary foods up to two years of age or beyond'.
Ben - who has a sister, Ella, 12 - has been eating some solids, and according to Kelly will eat organic vegetables and even salmon.


His vocabulary is also growing and he is keen on words that begin with a B.
Kelly said: 'New words are coming so fast. He loves B words - basketball, bus, belly button, bird. He talks to birds and looks at them in the sky, and loves airplanes, busses, balls and lizards. His favourite star is [Sesame Street's] Elmo.'
