Mum still breastfeeds her five-year-old and vows to only stop when he wants to

A mother of two is still breastfeeding her eldest child even though he's five-years-old - and said she'll only stop when he wants to, even though trolls claim she is abusing her child.

Lauren McLeod, 29, had her first child, Bowie, in August 2017 and breastfed him as a baby - initially planning to stop when he turned two.

But when Bowie reach that age he showed no signs of wanting to give up breastfeeding so the mum continued - even after she had her daughter, Tiger Lily, now two, in May 2020.
