Mom Hit With Severe Backlash After Sharing Her Tandem Breastfeeding Journey, Doctor Intervenes

Winona Wyborn thought she was simply sharing a glimpse of her breastfeeding journey.

Instead, the Australian mother found herself at the center of a fierce online debate over whether her two-year-old was “too old” to nurse.

The backlash came after Wyborn shared a video documenting her experience tandem feeding her toddler alongside her younger baby, with some strangers calling the practice “disgusting” and “creepy.”

But while the internet debated whether she should still be breastfeeding her older child, a lactation expert says there is far more nuance to tandem nursing than viral comments suggest.
