About care of self
“I definitely have less time,”Wilde told Yahoo! Beauty. "But I think it's a good thing, because I spend that time more wisely than I did when I had a few extra minutes to experiment with my look. I know where I'm going, and I make sure I'm ready in five minutes."

As a woman who balances being an individual, being a mother, and being independent, there’s something about being a dedicated mother, being a professional, and also being like, ‘I can do my makeup in 10 minutes, and I put on super-tight eyeliner, and I feel so sexy and beautiful because that’s all I do,’” Olivia tells People. “That’s still me. And you can’t forget that person. You’re not a bad mother just because you put your makeup on to go to lunch.” “Otis loves watching me do my makeup, and he’ll sit across from me and watch me. Sometimes we’ll play with his Magic Markers and he’ll start putting them on,” she continues, laughing. “I’ll be like, ‘That’s a good color! That’s a really cool shade!’” “I love the smell of baby products. When Otis was a baby, we used Mustella baby lotion. And today, when I go to work or go away for a few days, I always take a small tube with me. It's crazy, but I moisturize my hands with this lotion and smell like my son. People are probably thinking, "Why does this woman smell like diapers?"
About pregnancy
“There is something beautiful about pregnancy.“This is the time when you feel more connected to your body than ever before, you feel this beautiful space inside you. And it feels incredible. That’s what makes me happy: being in this space and living my life with my work and motherhood at the same time. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle during this period is very difficult. You feed your first child chicken nuggets and hamburgers, and it all looks so delicious,” Wilde shared with Yahoo! Beauty. “The only time I spend my time actively is when I have to run after my son. Like a real pregnant woman, I try to be soft and relaxed. Seriously, I’m pretty lazy most of the time. You have to forgive yourself for this, because your body is working hard to create a new person. I pay a lot of attention to good nutrition. One of my weaknesses is Coca-Cola. I know it’s terrible, but I can’t help it.” And I take small steps towards a healthy lifestyle all the time. For example, I try to remain conscious when choosing cosmetics, find out more information about their composition before using them. I like Revlon nail polishes because they are formaldehyde-free. And I know that everything will be fine, even if I overdo it. When there is no time for serious make-up, it is easier to be a minimalist."
About breastfeeding
“I have learned a lot since the controversy afterthe publication of the photo and since becoming a mother (referring to the photo published by Glamour, where Wilde is publicly breastfeeding her son. — Ed.). The first thing that is absolutely clear to me is that only a woman decides what is best for her and her child. And once she has made a choice, she should allow herself to stick to it even in public, wherever she goes. Of course, there should be no pressure on a woman who breastfeeds a child, there should be no accusations that she is a terrible mother. It is simply unfair! That photo was taken at a very organic moment of feeding my son, because breastfeeding is my choice. But in no way do I intend to shame women who, for whatever reason, have chosen not to breastfeed. It is a difficult topic. But it is not at all difficult to allow people to breastfeed their child wherever they choose.”
On the education of his son
"I hope to raise a child who will“to appreciate people for what’s inside them, not what’s outside them,” Olivia told Glamour. “I’d also like him to constantly experiment, to search for himself and what he’d like to do. Let him gain the confidence that I felt when I was growing up. I experimented with every hair color and makeup style imaginable. And I’m grateful to my parents for letting me go through this journey of self-discovery. I don’t think we should limit children in such manifestations. It’s important to make mistakes, play, and draw conclusions. I also like to think that Otis is a little feminist. And he is. He’s a very kind boy. I want to convey the idea that feminism is equality, and it’s not difficult to teach this to children, because they were born with this feeling. As they grow older, they learn to separate people and appreciate each one individually.” Sources: http://www.celebritybabyscoop.com/2016/07/07/olivia-pretty-around http://celebritybabies.people.com/2016/06/28/olivia-wilde-on-wears-son-otis-baby-lotion/
