During a Thursday appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, actress Rosamund Pike dished on balancing breastfeeding her 10-week-old son Atom during awards season.

“I am just taking him around with me,” said Pike, 36, of her newborn. “It has a very interesting effect on people because they don’t expect it. I’m turning up to meetings because what do you do — you’re a mom and you got a baby who needs to eat.”

Nominated for an Academy Award for her role in Gone Girl, the actress says her adorable entourage doesn’t go unnoticed.

“I turn up [to meetings] and they’re like, ‘Oh, your baby’s here,’ ” she shared. “I’m like, ‘Yeah, yeah he is.’ ”

The British actress — who is also mom to 2½-year-old son Solo — admits her nursing schedule has put a cramp into her red carpet style.

“I do have help the night of the award shows; it’s a whole operation,” she said. “I do the red carpet, I get there really early, I’m sort of the really uncool one. [Then] I disappear off and set up a sort of station backstage somewhere.”

She went on to recall a humorous breastfeeding story at Sunday’s BAFTA awards.

“I just roped up into the chairman of the Royal Opera House’s office and tried to put on the robe. I couldn’t do the buttons and whipped it off,” she said. “I was just sitting there, butt naked, with the double breast pump. If this guy had seen the kind of scene was as underhand as if we’d been taking drugs or something!”

She added: “One day, when I’m fearless and don’t care what anybody thinks, which I endeavor to do anyway, one day I’ll publish the photos because they are very funny.”
