In other breastfeeding news, 52-year-old Maha Al Musa regularly breastfeeds her six-year-old daughter.

The controversy continues as she refuses to immunise her daughter Aminah because she believes so strongly in the power of breast milk.

Maha has posed for multiple photos cradling her daughter whilst she breastfeeds in a park wearing her school uniform. The mother of three has no problem sharing these photos on Facebook.

She addressed her Facebook followers in February saying that breast feeding her 6-year old is completely 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,'

Maha addresses the critics, showing the close bond between mother and daughter.

What are your thoughts?

Do you think children should decide when their ready to stop?

Aminah told Women’s Day she enjoyed 'sleeping and sucking' her mum's breasts so much that she would probably keep going until she's eight.
