Meet The Mothers Who Still Breastfeed Their Grown-Up Kids Aged Six And Three (And Have No Plan To Stop)

Davina Wright, 45, has been breastfeeding her triplets - Connor, Willow and Summer - since they were born and will continue as long as she is physically capable

They eat three full meals a day, drink from a cup, they've grown teeth and can walk and talk, but these three-year-old triplets are still breastfed by their mother once or twice a day. 

Davina Wright, 45, has been breastfeeding her triplets - Willow, Connor and Summer - since they were born and will continue as long as she is physically  capable.

Ms Wright, who lives in Hong Kong with her husband Jason, was doing 30-40 feeds a day when their two daughters and son were first born but has since scaled back to just morning and night.

'They each have their own room and I go in to each of them individually and it is a lovely bit of one-on-one time,' Ms Wright told Daily Mail Australia.

'At three years old they are basically just fed to sleep, not that they actually fall asleep, it's more like 'fed to calm/sleepy'. 

'In reality it is only about 10-15 minutes of their day, their hectic, chaotic, loud, busy, competitive, triplet day, where they get to sit quietly by themselves with mummy.'

Ms Wright also breastfeeds first thing in the morning and she says the three toddlers are highly competitive as they fuss over who has to wait to be nursed.

'My kids walk and talk and eat solid food and drink from a cup and are independent and have a full set of teeth... all the things that people point out as reasons for weaning, but in actuality a child can do all these things and still be breastfed,' she said. 

In a related development, Denise Sumpter, 44, has said she won’t stop breastfeeding her six-and-a-half years old daughter until she asks her to stop despite breastfeeding her 18-months old brother. 

Denise says she thinks it’s one of the reasons Belle doesn’t fall sick often. She also feels confident that she won’t be at risk of breast cancer, and says it has made her eat whatever she wants knowing she won't add weight.

Belle is said to be the oldest child in the UK known to be taking her mother’s milk.
