Tamara Ecclestone speaks out about the breastfeeding photo that caused such a stir

Tamara Ecclestone has spoken out about a breastfeeding photo that received mixed responses when she shared it on Instagram recently. As we reported last week, a number of negative comments were left beside a picture that showed the British model and TV presenter breastfeeding her 15-month-old daughter while in a swimming pool on holiday in the Bahamas.

All that swimming is thirsty work ?

Talking about the photo during an interview on UK show Lorraine, Tamara said, "It wasn't really thought about, it wasn't calculated, it wasn't planned. It was just a spontaneous moment. I think those sometimes are the nicest pictures." She continued, "To be honest, I just think why should I not post a picture? If someone's bottle feeding their baby and enjoying it and in the moment, and they post a picture of their baby while being fed a bottle, no-one would have anything to say about that." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPDe_2UUZHY
