Halle Berry takes her children to work with her.
The 47-year-old actress - who has daughter Nahla, six, with ex-partner Gabriel Aubry and son Maceo, five months, with husband Olivier Martinez - is trying to find "balance" in her professional and personal life, and makes her trailer as "nice" as possible for her kids to join her on set.
She explained: "What I'm learning to do, trying to do right now, is find the balance.
"My baby is always with me on set. I bring my daughter after school. I have a nursery there, a playroom for her, so I try to make it as nice as I can for them to spend time with them, see them."
The 'Frankie and Alice' star has already got back in shape since having her son, and credits breastfeeding and eating sensibly with helping her regain her slim figure.
In an interview with 'Extra', she added: "Every mother should breastfeed. It's the quickest way to shed the initial weight and then you have to eat right."
The actress also said her daughter is thrilled with her new baby brother.
She explained: "It's like one of her doll babies came alive. She gets to take care of him, feed him, change his diapers, play with him, dress him up in different clothes like five times a day because she can, so she loves it."

Johnny Depp says making music is a "lifesaver".
The Hollywood star's "first love" was rock 'n' roll after getting a guitar aged just 12 and after years devoted to his film career, the 'Rum Diary' actor claims he's never felt better now he's back in the studio making music with the likes of Ryan Adams and Marcus Mumford.
In a special chat for Interview magazine conducted by Iggy Pop, Johnny - who opened for the godfather of Punk with his old band the Kids as a teenager - revealed how music has changed his life.
He explained: "I've been playing a lot of music lately. It's a real lifesaver, being able to focus on my first love. It's freedom. And immediate - yeah, f**k, we captured it. I suppose that's it, capturing something.
"I've been writing and recording with Ryan Adams a lot lately. Ryan is incredibly prolific and he's just a pure soul, he's just this being. He's got a great handle on it. And is taking good care of himself. But what a talent, man. I'm amazed by the f**ker.
"And then, here and there I'm doing some stuff with Alice [Cooper], which is really fun. Also with Marcus Mumford, who's amazing."
The 50-year-old actor - who is engaged to actress Amber Heard - and Iggy next met on the set of 'Cry-Baby' in 1990 and have been firm friends and collaborators ever since, but the 'Edward Scissorhands' star reminded him that their first meeting didn't go quite so well.
He told his musical idol: "After the gig you were walking around the club, and I was standing at the bar, all of 17 years old, guzzling as much spirits as I could to get up the nerve to talk to you. And I remember making the horrific decision in my teenage drunken state to go, 'Well, I'll just get his attention.'
"I started going, 'I-I-Iggy Pop, Piggy Slop', you know? You walked towards me and put your face about a quarter of an inch from mine and just went, 'You little turd.' And not only was it exactly the reaction that I deserved, but it was the one I wanted. I had a moment with you."

Michelle Williams finds singing and dancing "like meditation".
The 33-year-old actress found filming a musical number for 'My Week with Marilyn' stopped her worrying about her performance and she was delighted to be asked to play Sally Bowles in a Broadway revival of 'Cabaret' as she knew she'd be able to experience the same freedom again.
She said: "Singing and dancing take you out of your head--you're too busy doing too many other things to be thinking, How am I doing? You're just doing. It's like meditation.
"When 'Cabaret' came along, with these gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous songs -- they're so simple, but they tap into something deep and emotional -- I knew that I wanted to follow that thing I tasted a few years ago."
Michelle - who has eight-year-old daughter Matilda with her late former partner Heath Ledger - is enjoying every second of rehearsals for the production - but doesn't know if she'll feel the same once her nerves kick in.
Speaking to America's Vogue magazine, she said: "I haven't been confronted with the nerves yet, so now the singing is just pure joy.
"Honestly, it feels like being a kid. Now let's see if I can be a kid onstage eight times a week."
Michelle said: "A friend told me that when Natasha was debating whether or not to do this role, her mother said, 'Darling, when they ask you to play Sally Bowles, you play Sally Bowles'.
"So I pretended that Vanessa Redgrave was my mother and followed her advice -- who knows when the chance will come around again?"

Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino has landed a new reality show.
The former 'Jersey Shore' star will be joined by members of his family in 'The Sorrentinos', an eight-episode programme commissioned by TVGN, formerly the TV Guide Network, and is described as a "docu-comedy".
The show will feature Mike, his mother Linda and siblings Melissa, Frank and Marc and the reality star - who checked into rehab to be treated for an addiction to prescription drugs in 2012 - says it will focus mainly on his efforts to establish an ongoing TV career, as well as his attempts to stay clean.
Mike said: "The reality of the situation is ... for the first time, fans and the general public, will be able to see and, well, meet Michael Sorrentino.
"This next chapter of my life is about sobriety and family, and I'm stoked to take people on this journey with us."
Brad Schwartz, president of entertainment for TVGN, told Entertainment Weekly: "We're excited to take viewers, who met Mike in a very different time and place of his life, and bring them along for this ride with 'The Sorrentinos'.
"Family is everything and it's something people universally come back to no matter who you are and what you do. Fame just makes the stakes higher and more public."
Filming is scheduled to begin in New Jersey this week, though no air date has been set yet.

Janice Dickinson has had her debts reduced because she can't afford to pay.
The 59-year-old model - who declared herself bankrupt last April - has reached an agreement with City National Bank, who claim she owes more than $300,000 in connection with overdrafts, that will see her pay just a third of the debt.
In bankruptcy documents obtained by TMZ, the bank say it would be difficult to reclaim the whole amount "due to debtor's age, lack of assets and lack of income" so have agreed she will pay off $10,000 and the remainder over a three-year payment plan.
The paperwork also states that the former 'America's Next Top Model' judge's fiance, psychologist Dr. Robert Gerner, can pay off the debt for her.
When she declared herself bankrupt, Janice had debts of close to $1 million, which included unpaid taxes and cosmetic surgery bills.
At the time of her filing, the outspoken star owed more than $8,000 to Beverly Hills dermatologist Arnold Klein and was more than $8,000 in debt with the Beverly Hills Anti-Aging Center.
Janice also had unpaid taxes of more than $500,000 dating back a decade, which were due to California, New York and the Internal Revenue Service.

Halle Berry says her son has a "different energy" to her daughter.
The 47-year-old actress - who has five-year-old Nahla with ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry and five-month-old Maceo with husband Olivier Martinez - has found there have always been clear differences between her two kids, even from such a young age.
Asked how her son is, she said: "Fantastic. It's different, the energy. Whoever says they're not different from the start, they've never had both."
The 'Frankie and Alice' actress also admitted being a parent has had an impact on her work because having kids has been such a "life-changing" experience.
She told E! News: "Being a mom - that started when I had my daughter six years ago - you do start to bring different levels to your performances because being a mom is so life-changing and transforming when you have that right of passage and so it would be very hard for me not to bring that to every single thing that I do and I love that."
While Halle loves motherhood, she recently admitted she isn't planning to have any more children.
She said: "I'm surprised I had the one I just had! So I doubt God is going to bless me again. I think I'm done!"

Rita Ora was "obsessed" with an illustration which she had tattooed to her rib cage.
The 'I Will Never Let You Down' singer, who already had a number of inkings, has gone topless on the front cover of the May edition of UK ELLE magazine and shows off the huge pin-up girl tattoo inspired by a Alberto Vargas image.
She told the magazine: "It's based on an original piece by Alberto Vargas, who was an incredible illustrator in the 1930s.
"He was one of the creators of the pin-up image. That's our build, our power.
"That's why I was obsessed with it, learning what men don't understand about women and what women don't understand about men.
"I was obsessed with the painting a long time ago, and then I got it done six months ago.'
"I just love pretty things, whether it is art, a song or a pair of shoes."
The 23-year-old star - who is dating DJ Calvin Harris - chose tattooist Bang Bang McCurdy to create the art work, which took five hours and was described as "the most detailed tattoo" he'd ever done for a celebrity.
He said at the time: 'The tattoo is on her right ribcage. It's big! When she's standing it's about seven inches tall, but when she's laying down it's about 10 inches, plus."

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin are holidaying on Faith Hill and Tim McGraw's private island.
The former couple - who announced last week they were ending their 10-year marriage - flew from Eleuthera in the Bahamas, where they have been vacationing since news of their split broke, to nearby Goat Cay with their children Apple, nine. and Moses, seven, by private plane on Sunday (30.03.14).
A source who saw the pair boarding their plane told MailOnline: "They looked happy and calm. Chris was wearing a hat and Gwyneth was casual in a white t-shirt...they drove right up to their private jet with the kids in tow."
The plane took off around 9.50am and landed in Cave Cay, a private islet where commercial aircraft are banned, and were met by an "entourage of staff" before boarding a private boat to take them to the 17-acre island which their friends - who they bonded with when Gwyneth and Tim made 'Country Strong' together in 2010 - have owned since 2008.
The island boasts a 15,000-square-foot, four-bedroom house that comes complete with a lookout tower, as well as three smaller houses for their staff.
Despite their separation, the Coldplay frontman and the 'Iron Man 3' star have pledged to stay friends for the sake of their kids and appeared closer than ever on their holiday last week.
An onlooker in a restaurant where the pair were dining said: "Chris was making Gwyneth laugh until she had to wipe tears from her eyes.
"You wouldn't believe they were divorcing. They were deep in conversation and looked really happy together."
