Ashley Graham defends decision to stop breastfeeding twins at 5 months old
Ashley Graham has no regrets when it comes to her decision to stop breastfeeding her twin sons, Malachi and Roman, when they were just 5 months old.
During a recent visit to “The Daily Show,” the model and mom explained that while she knows people have a lot of opinions when it comes to the topic of breastfeeding, she also knows those opinions shouldn’t make any mother feel bad about her own reality.
“There’s also this whole thing with people telling you how to feed your child,” the 35-year-old told guest host Chelsea Handler. “With my first kid, I was like, ‘I could only breastfeed. This is the right way.’”
Graham and husband Justin Ervin have three children together, including their 3-year-old son, Isaac. But it was when their twins arrived in January of 2022, that Graham quickly gained a new perspective when it came to breastfeeding.
“I had the twins, and I was like, ‘I’m not doing this. This is not working here. Like, both of you want both of these? This is a lot of work,’” she recalled.
