Gossip Girl star proudly breastfeeds her toddler.
Kelly Rutherford is proud to continue breastfeeding her 2-year-old son, Hermes. The Gossip Girl star jokes that it is probably helping her keep her figure.
She has received heat for deciding to continue to breastfeed, however, according to sources such as the World Health Organization and pediatrics specialists, there is no upwards limit to how long a mother should breastfeed. In fact, it is recommended that a mother breastfeed her child for at least two years, and it does not psychologically traumatize a baby who still wants to breastfeed.
