(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Gisele Bndchen tells her son that vegetables are dessert.

The supermodel has 22-month-old old Benjamin with her American football star husband Tom Brady. He also has son John with Bridget Moynahan, although Gisele has previously said John feels like her own child.

Gisele has very strict ideas about parenthood. She thinks it should be the law that women breastfeed for six months after giving birth.

She's says it's essential for women to feed their children properly, which is why Benjamin only munches healthy things.

"My children, they are like white canvases. When Benjamin eats broccoli, he thinks it's dessert!" she told the December edition of UK magazine Vogue.

The model was criticised after making the breastfeeding comments. She has tried to clear up her stance in the new interview, also revealing how calm she was when she gave birth.

"Well, it's a personal decision. You have to honour what feels right and, for me, it was never even an option I'd do it otherwise. I mean, isn't that what our bodies are meant to do? Isn't that the great thing about being a woman?" she said.

"It's funny, I only realised it when I saw the videotape afterwards, but I was actually omming' during the [birthing] process. The closest thing I could compare it to is an out-of-body experience - but I guess people who don't meditate wouldn't really know what that means."

The 31-year-old is renowned for her fantastic figure, which sprang back into shape quickly after she had Benjamin. She is quick to point out her stunning physique doesn't come easily.

"Yeah, well. Like I tell my five sisters, who don't work at it very hard at all, whatever you put in, you get out. I'm not afraid of working hard at anything, whatever it is. I just always want to be the best that I can," she said. (C) Cover Media
