Actress and mother Jennifer Love Hewitt was bent on making a good impression for her first business meeting this week since giving birth to second baby, Atticus James. Wearing a silk power suit, she confidently faced her colleagues at a luncheon. But midway through, she felt the silk material of her clothes getting wet.
The mother, who had Atticus just this summer, was apparently lactating, but she knew just what to do with her mommy mishap.
"Ventured out for first business lunch since baby boy arrived," she wrote on her Twitter account. She followed this up with a photo post with the caption, "Lactated through silk jumpsuit mid meeting. Had to buy scarf for dignified exit. #hotelgiftshop #mommylife," the message said.
Several users on the social site commended the actress for her candor about the whole incident. "I love that you're not afraid of the people who might be critical of you for this tweet even though they have no reason to be," one follower wrote. Many mothers chimed in that they have experienced the same thing.
Jennifer's breastfeeding mishap isn't the first to happen to a celebrity parent, though. Meryl Streep had a similar incident back in 1979. The actress was at an awards show when she started lactating. "I was breastfeeding and two o'clock came, three o'clock came, and boom! I started to lactate. In a white silk dress," she said, according to Independent. She accepted an acting award with breastmilk stains on her gown.
Beauty queen and actress Ali Landry had a different breastfeeding mishap, "I'm pumping the gas, I hear her crying. I lean over her car seat to nurse, hoping no one would see. My husband gets back in the car—he thinks I'm done pumping the gas, starts the car, takes off. We rip the gas pump off the hose." she said, according to InTouch Weekly.
Former Playboy bunny, Kendra Wilkinson, drank her own milk when she felt herself leaking at a party."I couldn't do anything so I breastfed myself [laughs]. And it tasted sweet, too!" she said, according to Celebrity Baby Scoop
Dad Jerry O'Connell, who is married to actress Rebecca Romijn, also had a breastfeeding mishap to share when his wife started to leak at a friend's wedding. "I was having a good time, dancing...and we're having a good time," he recalled. "My wife grabbed me and she was like, 'We're leaving now,'" he told People.
Tori Spelling's husband, on the other hand, accidentally tweeted a photo of her breast after she was done feeding, according to New York Daily News.
These famous people are proving that when it comes to parenting woes, they're just like any other regular mom or dad.
