The 'Pretty Woman' actress - who has four-year-old twins, Hazel and Phinnaeus, and Henry, now two, with husband Danny Moder - was so determined to continue nursing Henry while shooting 'Duplicity' she insisted on extra gaps between shooting scenes.
She said: "He was only a little baby - six or seven months old - when we started filming. It meant I had to stop every few hours to breastfeed him. But I didn't do it on the set! I was very discreet. I would leave the set every few hours to take care of him and nurse him, because he was only little and he needed me."
The Oscar-winning beauty says she's enjoying every aspect of motherhood but admits it's hard to leave her children to go to work.
She said: "It is harder because I do feel a strange obligation to raise my children! But once I'm there, it definitely is fun. I joke and say that it's fun to spend the day with people who are over 3.5ft tall.
"Since being a mum, I'm a lot more placid - I don't always react to things. Oh, and I'm asleep by 8.20pm! I also watch a lot more kids' films now. But I just cherish it. I cherish being a mum."
