Back in March, Teigen chatted with PEOPLE about how she’s been “so lucky” when it’s come time to breastfeed each of her three kids. (Alongside Esti, Teigen and Legend, 44, are parents toMiles Theodore, 5, andLuna Simone, 7.)
“I was so lucky because Luna and Miles latched immediately. Esti latched immediately. If anything, it was like me that was like, ‘I need to produce this,’ " she said of the experiences. “I love pumping and I love trying to make as much milk as possible.”
Teigen also said that she “supplemented with all three children” and expressed her hopes that moms “don’t drive yourself crazy over that.”
“I’m surprised I have a drop of milk. I’ve done the lift augmentation twice. The fact that my nipple came off and was sewn back on, and I still have milk is incredible to me,” she said, referencing her two breast lifts.
Earlier this month, Teigen stood up for her family whenpeople made hateful online accusationsthat she secretly used a surrogate for Esti’s birth.
“Extremely realistic ‘moon bump,'” Teigen sarcastically wrote over an intimate shot taken on Jan. 13, after her cesarean section.
Teigen previously spoke with PEOPLE about her first cesarean section in March — and why she was “so excited” about it. “I was kind of excited because I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’ve done the vaginal thing twice. Let’s try this,’ " she said at the time.
“The incision is a lot and you never know how your stomach’s going to come together,” Teigen recalled. “I think your organs are on the table for a second, but that to me is so cool. I was taking pictures above the seat. I have the craziest pictures of the cord and everything.”
