Supermodel mommy Gisele Bundchen extols the virtues of breastfeeding on her blog in honor of Mother’s Day, saying, “it’s the Nature’s blessing (sic).”

Mrs. Tom Brady [stats] declared breastfeeding is “an act of love and affection” and, like the rest of her pregnancy and delivery, it hasn’t had any noticeable effect on her billion-dollar bod!

Gi, who wore no maternity clothes and suffered no labor pain, showed off a rockin’ post-baby bod in an ad campaign released yesterday that features the new mommy in just a bra and undies. Do we even have to tell you that, despite the breastfeeding, there is zero sag? But back to Mrs. Brady’s blog:

“(Breastfeeding) is essential for the newborn and creates a bond between mother and her child,” Benjamin Brady’s mommy writes. “It’s a unique moment when the body changes to nurture . . . Breastfeeding, mainly the first days, poses some challenges, but the reward is sublime . . . . It would be great if all the mothers could experience the breastfeeding.”

As you well know, the Brazilian bombshell became a mommy for the first time in December, so Sunday was her first official Mother’s Day. And she wasn’t shy about sharing.

“I’ve always believed that to be a mom is the greatest responsibility a woman could have in her life,” she wrote. “I’ve noticed a lot of meaningful changes in my life taking place together with a huge transformation of my priorities.

“The most important thing to me is to be the best mom ever to my children. I want to love them, to communicate with them, to be patient and teach them all I know. I have no doubt that becoming a mom has been the most rewarding experience in my life. I can say for a fact that I know unconditional love.”

Memo to Gi: Wait ’til your little darling’s 15 . . .
