One follower posted: “Thank you so much for being brave enough to stand up for extended breast feeding mothers. You are the only celebrity I have to think of when I feel persecuted or like I’m doing something wrong. Just want to say we see you and we are grateful xx”
Tamara and husband Jay Rutland has Sophia in March 2014, almost a year into their marriage.
A number of mothers commented on the photo, praising her for “normalised” extended breastfeeding.
