THIS Morning viewers were left horrified by a woman who still breastfeeds her daughters at ages five and two.

Sophie Mei Lan, 29, admitted she still nurses Jasmine, five, and Ariana, two – even if it does mean sleeping in a separate bed from husband Chris.

The blogger, who says breastfeeding "anchors" her, sparked debate among those watching at home, when she insisted she only still does it because it’s in her daughter’s best interest.

One person tweeted: “I find this weird, 5 years old is far too old for that!”

While another commented: “I actually can’t deal with the thought of breastfeeding a FIVE YEAR OLD... wtf?!!! They’re at school? Jesus Christ.. #ThisMorning.”

And someone else wrote: “#ThisMorning 🙄 breastfeeding a 5 yr old. To me that’s ODD.”

Not surprisingly a number of viewers drew comparisons with the Little Britain sketch that sees David Walliams' adult character demand 'bitty' from his mother.

During the interview, Sophie revealed she feeds Ariana between eight and ten times a day, while Jasmine just feeds at night time.

Speaking about her decision to continue doing it, she said: “I just went with the flow of my children wanted, what they needed.”

But husband Chris revealed that the children can in fact go to sleep on their own – without their mother’s breast milk, sparking speculation amongst viewers that Sophie was simply during it for herself.

He said: “I think it’s more by association now. They are drawn to them.”

And despite the fact he rarely gets to sleep in the marital bed, Chris has a very positive attitude towards it, saying: "My take on it, I feel sorry for mothers. They are always judged. It’s almost a battle you can’t win.

"I think you do what is right for your family. It doesn’t really matter what everyone else thinks."

Speaking yesterday to The Sun Online, Sophie defended her breast feeding, saying: “I don’t think there’s anything strange about feeding your children.

“Breast milk is nourishing, soothing and it’s free. I must have saved thousands of pounds over the years.”
