If there’s one thing Ice-T will do, it’ll be to defend his family. His wife Coco Austin revealed in an interview with US Weekly earlier this week that she still breastfeeds their five-year-old daughter Chanel, and the reaction online was mixed. “Chanel still adores my boobs,” Coco told US Weekly. It’s a significant bonding experience for a mother and her child.” Everyone had something to say about it, even though it wasn’t the first time she had mentioned it. T took the time today to respond to Twitter comments.
The rapper and actor began by clarifying that breastmilk isn’t Chanel’s only source of nutrition. “Breaking News! FOOD is what we feed Chanel… She merely wants to suck her mother’s boob now and then… “I’m with you!!!” “News Flash!” T continued. I’m still nursing my baby! Whenever I get the chance…” After a Twitter user tweeted, “1. That’s sexual and gross,” T continued to clap back. 2. Breastfeeding should not be done by a five-year-old. “Way to make it strange, dude.” “Why the F are you scared about MY child?” T responded. That was strange… Return to the basement now.” T’s reaction drew the attention of over 10,000 Roommates. One of the rapper’s roommates suggested that the rapper’s tweets be better worded.
Though, brought up the subject of breastfeeding. “It’s perfectly normal.” Lactation lasts until your child is 4 to 6 years old.” Breastfeeding for two or more years is recommended by Better Health, the World Health Organization (WHO), and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) due to the health benefits, according to Better Health. Breastfeeding should be solely for 6 months and continued for “up to 2 years and beyond,” according to the WHO.
