Tammy Etheridge Dishes with Joan Rivers on Breastfeeding Twins
Tammy Etheridge (well-known as the actress Tammy Lynn Michaels on the television series Popular) recently had twins with her wife (and yesterday’s Oscar winner for best original song!) Melissa Etheridge. Tammy writes on her blog Hollywood Farm Girl all about how she’s breastfeeding their four-month-old boy-girl twins Miller Steven and Johnnie Rose. Before the Oscars, she wrote:
checking oscar.
nail polish.
check.breast pump.
check.pump accessories (baggies, plastic parts, scissors, marker, pump vest, etc).
check.black dress.
check.
Indeed, the Celebrity Baby Blog reports that Tammy even dished with Joan Rivers about breastfeeding:
Joan Rivers asked Tammy if she had exercised to get back into shape after giving birth to the twins. Tammy said, “No, I’m breastfeeding, I don’t have to do anything else.” Joan said, “Your breasts look great, so keep nursing!”
Tammy reveals more her weight loss on her blog:
I’m going to be honest here. I walked into that hospital tipping at 200 pounds. Okay. I lied. I didn’t walk into the hospital, I was wheeled in. I could barely walk. But whoooooo, howdy!! Breastfeeding twins, exclusively, is the world’s best kept weight loss secret. Some blisters, bruises, and burning breasts, and VOILA! 130 pounds. I’m quite shocked, to be honest.
Tammy keeps a sense of humor about breastfeeding and pumping:
so if i drink my own breastmilk,
does that mean that i will produce
super-power breastmilk
afterwards?if breastmilk is alkaline… does that mean we can make alkaline ice cream with it?
do cats like breastmilk?
these are things i think while lying in bed after a pumping.
It’s great to have a celebrity setting a good example by exclusively breastfeeding multiples and even talking about it on the pre-Oscars show (love Joan’s comment “keep nursing”)! For those blessed with multiples as Tammy and Melissa were, La Leche League offers many resources on breastfeeding multiples.
