Another user shared her support for Austin as she expressed how much she admired her decision and thought it was beautiful. She hoped that more women would gradually become open to the idea of "extended breastfeeding."

Although some users showed support, some users vehemently disagreed with the idea. A user wrote that they thought Austin's decision was crazy and added that Chanel was too old to be breastfed.

This is not the first time that Ice-T's wife has come under prying eyes and scrutiny for her decision to continue breastfeeding her daughter.

This is not the first time Ice-T's wife has come under prying eyes and scrutiny for her decision to continue breastfeeding her daughter.

In September 2019, Austin came under a lot of fire when she shared a photo of her breastfeeding her 4-year-old daughter, Chanel.

Austin addressed the criticisms in an interview where she explained her reasons. According to the 41-year-old, breastfeeding did not only involve the child breastfeeding, the mother and child also got the opportunity to bond deeply.

The mom of one said that Chanel still ate food like cheeseburgers. Breastfeeding was their time to bond, and she was happy that Chanel had not outgrown the phase yet.

Months after, the mother and daughter duo are still sticking to their choice, and they have continued to be the best "twins" they can be.
