Jacy Campbell, 20, from Texas has hit back at trolls who claim it’s a form of ‘sexual assault’ to breastfeed her daughter until she’s six-years-old 

The mother-of-one, pictured with her daughter Emmly, revealed in her TikTok video that nourishing a child is normal and that there is ‘nothing sexual’ about it

Some other commenters from the original video agreed that it was harmful for her child. 

One person stated, ‘That’s morally wrong.’

While another simply said: ‘Nasty.’

And a third commenter wrote: ‘That should be illegal.’ 

In the original video that got over 1.8 million views, Jacy revealed she would be breastfeeding her baby for years 

The mother-of-one, displeased with the accusations, replied: ‘Extended breast feeding is not sexual assault, there’s nothing sexual about a child eating.

 ‘Just because you sexualise breasts doesn’t mean a child does.

‘A child is eating, they use you for nourishment.

‘You don’t even have kids, stop.’  

Some commenters were horrified that Jacy wanted to keep breastfeeding her child until it was almost ten

To further her point, Jacy also wrote in her comment section: ‘There are a plethora of health benefits for mom/baby and quite frankly I don’t feel like I have to justify it to you based on your rude comment.’ 

After hitting back at trolls, people came out to voice their support for Jacy and share their own stories of breastfeeding successes.

One person said: ‘What is wrong with people? A child is not sexualizing their primary food source…’

Another commenter agreed, saying: ‘I met a Guatemalan woman and her child who breastfed that long, I plan to go that long too! It’s incredibly beneficial!’

While another simply said: ‘You are doing great momma.’
