The post came after the mum received a phone call from her mother "out of nowhere" during which she "started abusing me because I am still breastfeeding."
She wrote: "She told me that I am disgusting and that it is wrong, I responded with facts about how it's good for him, I asked her why she even cared, but she was not having any of it."
The anonymous woman went on to say that her mum made her feel "so uncomfortable" so she asked her peers if she was in the wrong.
One mother said: "I don't know why women feel the need to attack each other over their bf choices.
"I genuinely don't get why they care. Unless you're actively starving your child, any person who has an opinion on how you choose to feed your child, is being ridiculous and should be ignored."
Another said: "You are 100% fine and allowed to keep breastfeeding your baby. I’d suggest no more contact with your mom until she apologises."
A third added: "Why is it any of her business? If she brings it up, just say he’s eating table food now. That’s the truth. He just also happens to occasionally breastfeed and that’s not her business. It’s not weird or wrong. I followed the WHO recommendation of 2 years."
