London: Denise Van Outen has said that she gave up breastfeeding because she hated photographers taking pictures.
In her first interview since her daughter`s arrival in May, the 36-year-old actress said she gave up breastfeeding her daughter Betsy after less than a month.
“I probably should have persevered a bit longer than three weeks,” the Telegraph quoted her as saying.
“But I can`t be sitting in Starbucks and breast feeding, because they (photographers) are taking pictures.
“Another time, I was at the back of a really long queue at the Post Office to get Betsy a passport, knowing that in the next half-hour she was going to wake up and cry, wanting a feed.
“And, sure enough, when I got to the front, that`s exactly what she did. And I felt so conscious of the pressures of everybody looking, tutting and waiting to see how I dealt with the situation because they knew my face,” she added.
Van Outen, who is married to Lee Mead, a West End actor, added there were other factors in her decision to stop breastfeeding.
“I wasn`t producing enough milk and Lee wanted to be able to feed her,” she told She magazine.
