THERES no doubt breast-feeding is best - it reduces the risk of tummy upsets, allergies, obesity and a host of health problems in later life.

But mum Stella Onions believes her kids cant get enough of a good thing.

So five-year-old Josephine and her four-year-old brother Zac, are STILL being breastfed.

And Stella has no plans to wean them off Mummy milk in the near future.

Stella, 45, from Ludlow, Shropshire, says: Nature sorts it out for you.

When children lose their milk teeth, at between five and eight years, their jaw shape changes slightly and they lose the ability to suckle.

But she adds: Dont worry, theyre not going to be breast-feeding teenagers.

Stella doesnt care what their school friends might say she avoids that by teaching them at home.

She says hubby Andy, 45, a computer games designer has no problems with her decision.

And she is convinced there are many other mums who secretly breast-feed older children.

Official advice is that children should have nothing but breastmilk for the first six months of life.

But only one in three babies in the UK is exclusively breastfed at one week. Only one in five is still being breastfed at six weeks and only one in thirty is exclusively breastfed at five months.
