KATIE COURIC: Recently in a magazine, Sophie--
SOPHIE GREGOIRE TRUDEAU: Uh-oh.
KATIE COURIC: You said in a magazine interview,
not too long ago, you're still breastfeeding
your two-year-old son.
SOPHIE GREGOIRE TRUDEAU: Yes, yeah.
KATIE COURIC: And I'm not sure what the discussion in Canada
is, over breastfeeding.
But it seems to incite all kinds of opinions in the States.
So why do you think that is?
And do you have any thoughts on that issue?
SOPHIE GREGOIRE TRUDEAU: I do have thoughts on that issue.
I think that it's a woman's choice.
I breastfed my three babies.
I also gave them formula.
I don't judge what your decision is.
I do think that reading the facts--
and I'm very much interested in women's health,
so I read about nutrition, about sleep patterns,
about exercise, everything that has to do with women's health.
And yes, there are the scientific facts
that prove that breast milk is amazing.
So if I can continue to feed my child, even if he's two--
I'm not going to stop, if he wants it.
And I think it's a beautiful bond.
And I encourage-- I encourage it.
But like I said, I don't judge.
And I also gave formula to my kids, so come on.
I mean, find your own balance.
