FED:Gisele wrong on breastfeeding: experts

The Australian Medical Association has responded to GISELE BUNDCHEN'S call for breastfeeding
to be made mandatory .. by saying it's a decision for mothers.

The Brazilian supermodel has said in an interview that breastfeeding helped her keep
her figure after childbirth .. and that it should be enforced by law.

President Dr ANDREW PESCE says while the AMA promotes breastfeeding .. the association
believes it's a matter of personal choice .. not law enforcement.

The Australian Breast Feeding Association has applauded BUNDCHEN for speaking from
the heart .. but it's also distanced itself from her comments by saying women shouldn't
be told what to do.
