“I don’t think we should be telling people how they should be feeding their kids”

Ashley Graham has hit back at mum-shamers after she was criticised for bottle-feeding her twins.

Ashley Graham explained that she chose to stop breastfeeding her twins when they were 5-months-old because it was “like feeding a nation”.

The mum-of-three said her twins are strong and healthy and that is all that matters.

But that hasn’t stopped people from criticising her for the way she feeds the infants.

Ashley slated those who have called her out over the personal decision.


She told The Daily Show;

“It felt like I was feeding a nation.”

“These little guys are so strong and so happy, so I don’t think we should be telling people how they should be feeding their kids.”

“There’s this whole thing with people telling you how to feed your child. With my first kid, I was like, ‘I could only breastfeed. This is the right way’. Then I had the twins, and I was like, ‘I’m not doing this.’ ”

The mum said breastfeeding no longer worked for her so she decided to stop.

“This is not working here. Both of you want both of [my breasts]. This is a lot of work,” she said.

The model is a mum to three boys- twins Roman and Malachi, who are 13 months old, and 2-year-old Isaac.
