Bonham Carter loves breastfeeding as her boobs gets a purpose

Washington, Jan 16 : Helena Bonham Carter has revealed that she enjoys breastfeeding her new baby daughter because her boobs gets a purpose.

The 'Sweeney Todd' star, who gave birth to her second child with director Tim Burton in December last year, has fallen in love with motherhood all over again.

"You know you're providing a real service. After carrying around your boobs for so long, it's nice to know they have an actual purpose," Contactmusic quoted Carter, as saying.

However, the 41-year-old actress is determined that she will not carry on breastfeeding her new baby daughter for too long after an 'awkward' experience with her four-year-old son Billy.

"Billy was a bit of a succubus. It gets to a point where you feel awkward. If they can crawl up and reach for it, perhaps its time to move on," she said.
