Brad Pitt reveals baby care secrets

Brad Pitt reveals some secrets about his chaotic home life.
As the father of six young children, Brad Pitt could be expected to know a thing or two about taking care of babies and he has decided to share some of his tips with other young parents.

The 44-year-old actor has three adopted children, Maddox, Pax and Zahara, with his partner Angelina Jolie as well as three biological offspring, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox.

Twins Vivienne and Knox were born just this summer and although Brad admits that having so many youngsters in the house is exhausting and chaotic, it also brings him a lot of joy.

He even admitted that he and Angelina were planning on having more children.

"We haven't found any reason to stop yet," he told Hello! magazine.

Brad also handed over some top tips, saying: "You know the secret of good nappy-changing? You got to do it quick.

"There's something about the air contact that makes them want to go again, so you got to get in there and get them changed before that happens, because those things stink! I'm pretty good at being quick, I must say."

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button star also revealed that his children exchanged home-made gifts at Christmas instead of shop-bought ones.
