Belle is 6-and-a-half years old and still breastfeeding. She asks for her mother’s milk whenever she is tired, sick, or simply wants to bond with her mother. However, Sumpter has set some rules in place for Belle.
For example, she stopped breastfeeding Belle in public around the age of 4 to 5. Sumpter and her partner Jules Deering recently added their 18-month-old son Beau to the family, who is breastfeeding right alongside Belle.
“I’ll feed Belle as long as she asks,” Sumpter added. “I don’t know how long that will be. It will be the same with Beau. I don’t think there’s anything wrong or strange about that. I feed both children on demand whenever they want it.”
According to the WHO, breast milk is the ideal food source for newborns and infants with all the nutrients needed for health development.
Adolescents and adults who were breastfed as children are at lower risk for being overweight, obese, or developing type 2 diabetes.
Most people may not realize the benefits the mother gets from breastfeeding. Sumpter claimed that breastfeeding has not impacted her sex life or breasts and has even improved her health and figure. CONTINUE READING
