Davina wrote on her cover…

“We’re all mom enough… to respect the choices of other parents. So why are we so scared and judgemental of the choices others make that have no effect on us?”

Go super mum!ย  That is one pretty massive achievement. Well done.

  • Each to their own. I 100% wouldnt see the need for my photo to be splashed across the internet while breast feeding though. Its natural….yes. But so is pooping and peeing and I wouldnt want photos of me doing that either.

  • I am not sure that I could or would feel comfortable breastfeeding my child until the age of 4… However I acknowledge that it is a very personal choice. I think I would be comfortable to feed until the age of 2. Good on these ladies for their choices and putting themselves out there for the cause.

  • Not for me but it is definitely her right to breastfeed till whatever age the child is. I wonder what is the oldest age of a breast fed child is on record. Be interesting to know that.

  • Breast or bottle – it should not matter. It will be a wonderful day when it does not matter and when it does not make the news and is just normal.

  • The truth of the matter is that the children wanted to breast feed for that long and the mother was able to do so – Good on her – her choice is her choice and her children’s choice. Mine didn’t want to continue beyond 1 year, and they showed it, so that was the end.

  • I breastfed one of my sons until 4.5yrs and we use to get flack. Even when I was in hospital delivering my fourth child and I was dual breastfeeding nurses would even be shocked. I believe there is still a stigma surrounding breastfeeding even though there has been so much education. Out of four children my child that has breastfed the longest has no allergies (like the others) no asthma(like the others) and very rarely gets sick. It doesn’t prevent but I believe it truly assists to bolster the child’s immune system. I am glad I b/fed for so long even though it is time consuming but trust me the gets easier. Dual feeding also stopped the horrible feeling of the milk coming in or any mastitis.

  • I’m feeding 4 month old twins and it is hard work, this is another level!!!

  • As a mother of triplets, I can say it was virtually impossible to breastfeed newborn triplets, let alone do it for such a ridiculously long time! This woman is seeking attention. As mothers we want to ensure our children grow up happy, healthy and well adjusted. Now that is an achievement , not promoting yourself!

  • It is no body else’s business if someone wants to breast feed an older child. If you don’t like it then don’t look. The health benefits I would think would far out way the looks and ridicule you would receive. My child’s health is more important that what anyone else thinks.

  • Why are we so judgemental indeed? As women we seem to be more so than men. We need to stand up for other womens’ choices. “If you do not agree with a choice someone makes you can still make the decision to support that womans’ right to choose & support the decision & commitment she is making to carry it through.” It may not be what I would do but I support completely the right that each of us as a mother has to make choices that suit ourselves, our children & our family. If each of us as a Mum makes a decision to always support though not necessarily agree then Mothers will feel stronger in their Motherhood with the Community behind them. Lets face it Motherhood is hard work (though also joyful),so why would any of us want to make it harder for another Mum. Stand up for your fellow Mums & hopefully they will do the same when it’s your turn. Believe me everyone gets a turn sooner or later. Love to all

  • yeah good on her! nothing to be ashamed of! i am glad that i don’t have to breastfeed 3 babies! that would have been tough!

  • Individual decisions like whether to breast feed or bottle feed, and for how long, is not for anyone else to judge. As long as the intention is to have healthy, happy, well-adjusted children, then we are all mom enough.
