“At a time when the world feels like its coming to an end … suck up as much love as you can,” the model, 40, captioned a photo of herself breastfeeding her daughter. “I know the moms out there will appreciate this pic! I’ve been getting a lot of props in the breastfeeding community and get tons of emails from woman [sic]/moms appreciating me bringing light to the subject.”
Coco continued: “At this point in nursing it’s just for comfort and believe me the girl loves meat so its not like she isn’t 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.”
Coco, who shares Chanel with husband Ice-T explained her decision to continue breastfeeding to Us Weekly back in September.
“It’s about giving love to your child and bonding with your child and also giving them good nutrition,” Austin explained. “Breast milk is like liquid gold. All around, it’s a good thing.”
She continued, “What I think confuses people is they saw the picture and they think Chanel doesn’t eat food. And she eats cheeseburgers.
She only breast-feeds … like, when she cries [and] she just wants to get close to her mama. She throws the boob out and … holds on. She’s not doing it for nourishment. This chick eats chili fries, OK?”
