Rebecca Romijn: I Was 'Just a Milk Machine'

It sounds like Rebecca Romijn felt more like a cow than a mom for the first months of her daughters' lives because all she did was breastfeed the girl twins. The star just finished 9 months of breastfeeding Dolly and Charlie, and said: "I finished nursing three weeks ago. And yes, I was a milk machine! I felt like that's all I was to them, just this walking milk machine."

Although breastfeeding left Rebecca "constantly dehydrated," it meant she shed her baby weight quickly. She told website Starpulse.com: "Because I'm an actress, the pressure to lose weight quickly is definitely there. But honestly, nursing did most of it. It requires so many calories per day to nurse two babies. That was the fastest, but I still have a little way to go."

Rebecca recently started filming new TV show Eastwick, leaving husband Jerry O'Connell at home alone with the twins for the first time. But instead of being heartbroken at leaving her babies, Rebecca is thrilled because the girls are far more attached to her now they see her less. She said:
Honestly, I was with them right up until they were 6 months which is when we started shooting, and I felt like they kind of took me for granted a little bit, like Jerry would walk in, and they'd be like, 'Ahhh.’ But then they never even noticed that it was me with them the whole time. Now that I'm not there as many hours during the day, they're pretty clingy and I have to say I love it. It's the best feeling in the world.See more pictures of of Rebecca Romijn here (click any picture):
