Amy Schumer Explains Why She Decided to Stop Breastfeeding Son Gene

Amy Schumer is getting candid about breastfeeding her son Gene.

The 38-year-old actress explained that she switched to formula after a month of breastfeeding because Gene was having trouble latching.

“I wanted him to get the colostrum. We had a lactation expert come over. He didn’t latch and I just didn’t feel that push to make that happen. Then I pumped for like the first month. Then I was like, ‘Not for me.’ This is not for me and I didn’t want to do it,” Amy said on the Informed Pregnancy and Parenting podcast.

She continued, “Some people just absolutely love it and I’m so happy for them, and it was just bumming me out. But then I was also kind of proud doing it and whatever and getting him the milk and stuff. Then once it occurred to me that I could stop. I was like, ‘I’m going to stop.’…And then, every week what I did was just took away one session of the pumping.”
