Actress Olivia Wilde’s cover shoot for the September issue of [_Glamour_](http://www.glamour.com/fashion/2014/08/olivia-wilde-glamour-september-2014-cover-photos/1) includes a photo of her breastfeeding her baby Otis, in a diner, in couture. Note that Otis is not wearing a diaper, so really anything could happen to that Roberto Cavalli dress.

Wilde notes that there’s “usually a diaper involved,” but otherwise the photo-shoot felt completely natural to her:

It’s worth noting that it’s much easier to breastfeed if you’re a [well-paid actress](http://time.com/41966/gwyneth-paltrow-goop-mom-problem-working-in-movies-is-hard-for-her-but-harder-if-youre-not-the-star/?preview%5Fid=41966&preview%5Fnonce=e696b91aa3), but much harder for working moms in low-income jobs to get clean places to pump milk and the time off work to do it. Wilde also notes that she doesn’t have any apprehension about continuing her acting work while raising Otis:

But that doesn’t mean she’s immune to the kind of self-doubt that sounds a lot like the well-known “Imposter Complex:”

Wilde’s glamour shot comes right smack in the middle of World Breastfeeding Week, and to celebrate the occasion we at TIME gathered together the [16 Top Breastfeeding Controversies.](http://time.com/3060273/world-breastfeeding-week-controversies/)



## Transcript

Olivia Wilde and fiance Jason Sudeikis welcome their first child. The 30 year old actress made the big announcement on Twitter Wednesday posting, ladies and gentlemen, Otis Alexander Sudeikis has left the building. I'm the building. Baby boy Sudeikis arrived almost two weeks early on Sunday, April 20th. And when is the big day? May the fourth be with you. May the fourth be with you. [ LAUGH ] That is it. Okay. So. We knew the couple was expecting a boy. At least have a better understanding of how I'm going to **** this kid up now, right, being a boy. But we had no clue what they were going to name him.

The duo joked about some possible baby names on the Oscar's red carpet last month. It's Chewatel Sadakis, Jr. Yeah, I don't see why not. That goes well. I don't see why not. Chewitel or alright, alright, alright. [ LAUGH ] Yeah. Depending on who wins. You know, we're gonna see yeah. Next we'll wait and see when the new parents will become newlyweds. They've been engaged for over a year, but for now, we're guessing the focus will be on baby Otis. A source tells People they are incredibly happy. They're very excited to welcome a new member into their family. Thanks for watching. I'm Bryce Sander.
