On Thursday, proud nursing mama Alyssa Milano spoke out about bottles of her breastmilk that were confiscated at the Heathrow Airport in London, England.

After Retweeting Celebrity Baby Scoop’s coverage on this story, the Who’s The Boss? alum, 42, made an official statement about the incident.

“I realize there are much larger issues going on in the world,” Milano tells Us Weekly. “And I don’t want to turn this into a bigger issue than it is but I will say this … breastfeeding my children has been one of the greatest joys of my life.”

“Every ounce of milk I’m able to produce for my child is nothing short of a miracle and to watch that milk be thrown away without any regard for my baby, was heartbreaking,” she continues. “It’s not the fault of the security in the airport; they’re following orders to keep us all safe. But I do I feel it is a policy that needs thoughtful reconsideration. I’m glad this has started a dialogue. My only hope is to make things easier for moms, breastfeeding and formula feeding moms, everywhere.”

The actress – mom to daughter Elizabella Dylan, 7 months, and son Milo Thomas, 3½ – also shared a few updated Tweets.

PS. Another reason it makes no sense – when I got past security it was time to pump again so… I did carry on 5 ounces of breast milk.

The unfortunate incident has created quite an online stir.

Fellow celebrity mom, True Blood star Anna Paquin, went on to RT Celebrity Baby Scoop’s coverage on this story. As well, she shared a few supportive Tweets.

.@sandersonspr@jenenome@Alyssa_Milano as a NICU mum who was only ever able to feed through pumping it literally hurts my heart.

As reported, Heathrow responded via Twitter, writing, “Hi Alyssa. Unfortunately, without a baby present, the government requires all liquids in carry-ons to follow the 100ml rule.”

The Mistresses actress has been an outspoken advocate for nursing moms. Last month, Alyssa shared a breastfeeding photo while at work with her baby girl.

And that isn’t the first time we’ve seen a pro-breastfeeding image from the mom-of-two. In February, the actress shared a breastfeeding selfie with her sweet tot.

Also, she shared a nursing photo in November, and a breastfeeding selfie in October.
