Maha Al Musa, a 52 year old mother who proudly breastfeeds her six-year-old child and says she will feed her in the school playground if her daughter asks for it. Maha regularly breastfeeds her daughter Aminah and has not immunized her because she believes strongly in the power of her breast milk.
The Byron Bay mother was pictured in Woman's Day on Monday cradling Aminah as she was being breastfed in a park in her school uniform. Aminah is normally breastfed too before she goes to bed.
'Sometimes it tastes like candy canes. It tastes like a lot of different things, It's my favorite thing to do when I'm not at school. More kids should because it's good for you.'
Ms Al Musa, openly posts photos of her breastfeeding her six-year-old on Facebook and says she enjoys the bonding time with her daughter as it keeps her vital. She also told her Facebook followers in February that breastfeeding her school-aged daughter was normal.
'Let child and mother choose what's best for them, their circumstance and family. If we are all choosing then we are all equal,' she wrote alongside a photo of her feeding.
'4-8 (years) is NORMAL age for self weaning.'
The mother of three, who lives by a strict Paleo diet, features on The Discovery Channel’s Extreme Breastfeeding series.
