I'm not sure of any specific list that shows only famous people who were breastfed as children...maybe you'll have to just find them listed along with famous people who are breastfeeding and separate them out.

But I wanted to take this opportunity to comment on Michael Jordan since you suggested him as an example.  Michael Jordan was only breastfed for three MONTHS not three years, as is incorrectly stated on lots of websites.

How do I know this?  My co-Leader was looking for a famous person to use on a breastfeeding promotion billboard and faxed a letter to Mrs. Jordan's charity to ask if she was willing to be photographed for the project.  Mrs. Jordan actually telephoned my co-Leader and while expressing her support for breastfeeding, was adamant about setting the facts straight: Michael Jordan was only breastfed for three months.  She also asked that whenever we have an opportunity to dispel this rumor, we should do so.

Just thought I should share...

Hello!

I am new to Lacnet, so I'm not really sure how it all works...I hope I am doing
this correctly.
I was wondering if anyone had a list of famous people who were breastfed as
infants?  In searching the archives and various other places, I keep coming
across current celebrities who are breastfeeding, but not much on people who
were breastfed (i.e. Michael Jordan).
Thank you for your help.

Vicki
