A MOTHER has slammed trolls who have criticised her for still breastfeeding her two-year-old son.
Taking to TikTok, Danielle Facey, who is from the UK, shared a video in response to someone who asked: “Isn’t he too old to breastfeed?”
In the short clip, Danielle, who can be seen breastfeeding her toddler, replied: “He’s two-and-a-half years old and is in a lot of pain with his last set of molars coming through lately.
Paracetamol isn’t touching the sides and he has never used any of the dozen teethes we have bought him."
She went on to explain that as a result, he has gone from nursing two or three times a day to much more often.

Danielle continued: “As you can see. I am more than happy to ease his pain in the most natural way possible – it’s a privilege that not everyone has.
And seeing as he is my son and these are my breasts, I think I will decide when he is too old to breastfeed."
It wasn't long before social media users took to the comments section in support of Danielle.

“Breastfeeding- the cure for everything,” wrote one, while a second penned: “Girl you don’t owe them an explanation. Even if he was “too old” (which he isn’t), he’s your boy and you’re his loving, giving, nurturing mother.”
A third commented: “My son self-weaned 4 months shy of his 3rd birthday. They will stop when they are ready.”
Danielle replied: “Thank you for sharing and normalising.”
Another mother who sympathised added: “My daughter was the same when teething. They eventually grow out of it in their own time, breastfed her just a few months short of 3-years-old.”
