How Long Did Selma Hyak Breast Feed Her Kid

Most can probably agree that breast milk provides a baby with many nutritional benefits, plus it gives mother and child great nurturing and bonding time. According to statistics, most American moms stop nursing long before their baby reaches their first birthday, but not these celebrity moms, who practiced extended breastfeeding and nursed past the age of two.

3. Eryka Badu – Eryka Badu proudly breastfed her son, Seven, until the age of two. Of her experience the soul singer said, "When I first had the baby, I was breastfeeding for two years straight, so we were together for two years of his life – every day, all hours of the day. So I was two people, and I eventually morphed back into one. Now he's part of me. He's very independent as a result of it. I thought it was going to be the opposite. I was very worried that he was going to be attached since we were together every day, but I guess it made him feel comfortable…"

4. Nelly Furtado – Nelly Furtado toldLifestyle Extra that she nursed her daughter, Nevis, for two years. And, for those moms thinking she did it to lose weight the Canadian singer dispels that theory. "Whoever says breastfeeding is a good way to lose weight is a liar. I nursed my daughter for two years and as soon as I stopped I had more energy. You can do more things."

5. Kelly Rutherford – Gossip Girl actress, Kelly Rutherford, nursed her son Hermés, until well past the age of three. In fact, she was nursing her newborn daughter and 3-year-old son at the same time. "…it is really cute when they are nursing together. He just looks at her, and checks her out, and puts his hand on her little feet. It gives him this close-up intimate look at her, and it's very beautiful to see them kind of get to know each other," Rutherford revealed to Best For Babes.

6. Selma Blair – Cruel Intentions actress Selma Blair didn't hesitate to breastfeed her son in public when he was hungry and was once snapped feeding him when he was two years old.
