KATE Upton recently spoke out about the "pressure" she felt as a new mother.
But the 27-year-old model took to Instagram on Wednesday, to clarify her remarks about breastfeeding.
She shared an image of herself looking relaxed in a hat in the sunshine as she was breastfeeding her baby daughter Genevieve.
The Other Woman actress wrote: I want to take a minute to clarify the context of feeling pressures as a new mother and breastfeeding in the @editorialistmagazine article.
"When asked about getting back in shape after pregnancy I discussed the major pressures that are out there for new moms to 'snap back' right after having a baby."
She continued: "Every woman experiences this due to the unnecessary and unrealistic expectations that are brought into every household, mostly via social media. I certainly felt these pressures, as all women do. I tried to push myself early to get back to the gym, eat perfectly and try to achieve this alleged 'snap back'.
"But, after realizing how ridiculous these pressures are I quickly gave myself some slack and lived in the moment as a new mother. Every woman needs to give their body time to heal and to soak in those early, precious moments.
"I realized quickly that between breastfeeding, healing, little-to-no sleep, off-the-charts hormone changes and experiencing everything for the first time that those weight-loss pressures are extremely unnecessary, and I decided to turn my energy towards my family.
"Every mother’s experience is different with every baby. I’ve learned everyone’s journey is extremely personal and no two are the same."
