Gisele Bündchen may not be getting much sleep since giving birth to her first child, Benjamin, with husband Tom Brady in December — but she doesn’t mind.
“In these first months, the baby breastfeeds twice in two hours or three times in three hours. It is really tiring, but it’s such a special moment that I am enjoying to the maximum,” the supermodel, 29, says in a new interview with Brazil’s Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper. “I have dedicated my days completely to him.”
Gisele, who calls her 8-week-old son “a little angel,” says she’s been changed by becoming a parent. “To be a mother is a magical experience. The whole body is transformed by this,” she says. “It really is the miracle of life. I am really happy!”
She’s already gone back to work, posing for a photoshoot for the Brazilian label Colcci just six weeks after giving birth, but she’s not using a nanny, instead relying on her family to help her.
“My mother [Vania] accompanied me since before Benjamin’s birth,” she says. “She gave me great support. I couldn’t ask God for more support than this.”
The supermodel also reveals that she didn’t take her pregnancy as an excuse to indulge in junk food. “I kept myself in good shape during the whole pregnancy, eating healthily, meditating, and doing exercises,” says Gisele, who did yoga and kung-fu until November. “I put on a little weight, but kept using almost the same clothes, with small adjustments on the stomach.”
Of course keeping fit since the baby arrived has been a challenge. “I still haven’t had time to go back to doing exercise. In the first few months, everything turns around the baby. But little by little you recover your form,” she says. “What helps me is the fact that I didn’t put much weight on, and that I had a natural birth and am breastfeeding.”

While some of her peers have made waves returning to pre-baby form in record time, Camila Alves says she’s happy to be the exception to the trend. In Brazil, the Shear Genius host tells Style List, there is a tradition of allowing for downtime after giving birth.
“We call [it the] 40-day break after the baby,” Camila — who welcomed daughter Vida on Jan. 3 — explains. “You have to let your body do its own thing; You give it time to recover and let everything settle down.”
In so doing, women are able to “respect all the hard work” their bodies have done, she notes.
“For these 40 days you really take it easy. By that I mean no sex, light, healthy food, no trips to the gym. Then, after 40 days, you are good to go.”
However, Camila — who stepped out for her 27th birthday last week — goes on to confess that she’s “getting a little anxious to work out.”
“I miss it. Not just to get my body back in shape, but for me, for my head!”
In her new job, hair will take center stage and Camila says that her own locks are in a state of flux with Vida’s arrival. Like many women, Camila says she’s experienced some hair loss since becoming a mom.
“The texture has definitely changed,” she concedes. “I am lucky it is thick because I am losing it more too. It is spooky isn’t it?”
In addition to Vida, Camila is mom to 18-month-old Levi with partner Matthew McConaughey. Season three of Shear Genius premieres Wednesday night on Bravo.
