First-time mom and world's richest super model Gisele Bundchen has some pretty strong words about parenting. Bundchen, the wife of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, said in a recent interview that she thinks there should be a "worldwide law" requiring every mother to breastfeed their children."Some people here (in the US) think they don't have to breastfeed," she told Harper's Bazaar UK. "And I think 'Are you going to give chemical food to your child when they are so little?' I think there should be a worldwide law, in my opinion, that mothers should breastfeed their babies for six months." Bundchen went on to recall how easy it was to give birth to her son Benjamin with Brady, thanks to a little meditation.

"It prepared me mentally and physically. It's called 'labor' not 'holiday' for a reason, and I knew that," she said."You want to go into the most intense physical experience of your life unprepared? That doesn't make any sense to me," she said. "Then I was ready and I thought 'OK, let's get to work'. I wasn't expecting someone else to get the baby out of me." She said it, "didn't hurt in the slightest." By the way, her Patriots husband turns 33 Tuesday.

However, Bundchen told the magazine Caras, in her native Brazil, that she and Brady will marry someday, according to an account of the interview in The Boston Herald.

“I will realize the dream of marriage, to have children and a family, of course. I’m sorry (to) disappoint you, there is no date set yet,” Bundchen said. “I’m in love and you will see my wedding on the right day.”Bundchen told the magazine that she was surprised by two separate stories of the engagement in the past month.“I don’t know how people are so creative,” said Bundchen. “First they said he proposed to me in a plane. Imagine, it was Dec. 24, Christmas, we were flying to Boston, then there was some champagne and we celebrated the date.“Someone deduced I was getting engaged! I received more than 100 e-mails from friends commenting about the proposal," she continued. "Now there’s a new rumor, that he proposed to me on last Friday. I wasn’t even there, how can that be true?”

Bundchen did say that when she and Brady do marry, they will have a small wedding for just family and close friends.
