Gisele Bundchen recently opened up about what she describes as "one of the most special moments" she's had with her children -- breastfeeding.
In honor of Breastfeeding Awareness Month this August, the supermodel and mother, 39, wrote about the joy she's been given through the experience.
"That special look you get, that feeling of connection is unlike anything I have ever experienced," she wrote in an Instagram post.
Bundchen has two biological children with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady -- Benjamin, 9, and Vivian Lake, 6 -- and is stepmother to his son from his previous relationship, John Edward Thomas Moynahan, 11.
