The model Gisele Bundchen has backed down after saying mothers should have to breastfeed for six months by law.
Writing on her blog, the 30-year-old Brazilian who gave birth in December, said she "wasn't here to judge" other mothers.
She had said feeding her son Benjamin had helped her lose her pregnancy weight.
Department of Health figures show only 20% of mothers are still breastfeeding when their babies are six months old.
Initially, 80% of new mums attempt to breastfeed.
Bundchen made her initial comments supporting long-term breastfeeding in an interview with Harper's Bazaar magazine.
