“How long did you breastfeed? Is it weird that I get emotional when I even just think about when it’s time to stop?” she asked.

She was flooded with thousands of responses from encouraging mothers. Most of them agreed that the length of the breastfeeding journey is totally up to the new mama and her baby. Also the emotional feeling thinking about weaning? It’s completely normal as there are so many hormones at play.

Proves that celebrities are just like us.

Williams gave birth to a baby girl named Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr in September. Later, she married her partner and father of the baby, tech entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian in November.
