American model and mum-of-one, Coco Austin was criticized after she shared a photo of herself breastfeeding her 4-year-old daughter Chanel, but the 40-year-old mum took out time to respond to her critics in an Instagram post.
The glamour model, who is married to rapper, Ice-T, shared that she knows other mums appreciate her labour of love for her daughter, and that at these times, when it feels like the world is coming to an end, taking all the love one can get is important, she opines.
Coco also shared that her daughter definitely eats ‘meat’ and breastfeeding her till now does not mean she’s not eating other foods. Her post clearly suggested that continuing to breastfeed her daughter at age four is no more than their peculiar way of strengthening mother-child ties.

At a time when the world feels like its coming to an end.. suck up as much love as you can! I know the moms out there will appreciate this pic!
Ive been getting alot of props in the breasfeeding community and get tons of emails from woman/moms appreciating me bringing light to the subject ..
I write a baby blog about my journey with Chanel and soon I will write about what it’s like to continue boob time with a 4 year old..
I get tons and tons of requests that want me to speak on it! At this point in nursing its just for comfort and believe me the girl loves meat so its not like she isnt eating real food…
Thank you to all that understand my view.. i see most of you are so eager to side with me and I too root for you in your journey as well.. Us moms are connected.
