Tamara Ecclestone and her husband Jay Rutland welcomed their daughter Sophia into the world in March 2014.

When talking about becoming a mum, the model revealed: “Motherhood is the best thing that’s ever happened to me, and I’m enjoying every minute of it.

“I knew I would love it – I just didn’t know how much. I feel born to be a mother,” she told Hello! Magazine.

In the past the mum-of-one has had to defend her breastfeeding selfies a numerous amount of times. After uploading one on Instagram and receiving backlash she confessed that she was surprised at the reaction: “I didn’t realise that people would have some many opinions on it, it was such a natural moment, it wasn’t calculated.

“If someone is bottle feeding their baby...nobody would have anything to say about it,” she said on Lorraine.

She also made her views clear on breastfeeding by uploading a picture on Instagram which read: “People always want to see your breasts, until you’re feeding a baby then it’s considered indecent… anyone else see the flaw in this logic?”

And now in Fabulous magazine the 32-year-old mum has revealed that she still breastfeeds her daughter, Sophia who is two-years-old: “Yes Sophia is two and a half and yes, a lot of people wouldn’t breastfeed now.

“But it’s so comforting for her and she loves it. She doesn’t have a dummy, a blanket or take a bottle.

“Although I’m going to have the saggiest boobs around by the time she’s finished.”

The mum-of-one also revealed that she will stop breastfeeding her daughter when Sophia is done, however she joked: “But this beast is never going to be done!”

The yummy mummy also admitted that although paediatricians say that it’s uncommon for children to still breastfeed after four years old: “We’ll cross that bridge if it comes to it, but for now she’s my baby.

“You’re doing something that is so amazing for your child, but it can cause such hostility and anger.

“It makes me wonder what’s wrong with the world. Breastfeeding is such a natural thing.”
