Rumer Willis Defends Breastfeeding Her 2-Year-Old Louetta
“Breastfeeding has been such a fantastic experience and I would encourage any woman to just keep going,” Rumer Willis informed later on her Instagram Stories. “It can be really hard in the very beginning, and I’m aware that I’m kind of a bit of a situation that’s not normal.”
Thanks to a viral video of her Instagram Story wherein she talked about her breastfeeding journey, The House Bunny alum was bombarded with negative comments first last month but she has mostly ignored the backlash.

Rumer Willis Explains Why She’s Still Breastfeeding — and How Long She’ll Continue
Rumer Willis proudly revealed that she thinks breastfeeding is still providing her 2-year-old daughter Louetta with the necessary nutrients.
“Just the other day she was in school and there was a cold going around, and a lot of the other kids got it very badly,” she told her Instagram followers. “And I feel like because she still breastfeeds, she didn’t get it as bad. Of course, it’s more for comfort than nutrition now, but there is something very special about it.”
However, Rumer confessed she is only thinking about gradually stopping breastfeeding.
“One part of me is sure that I can even go until she’s 3, while the other part of me feels like I can start my own body replenishing,” she shared, mentioning that she has acid reflux and general health issues which she cannot solve entirely while nursing. “So it’s a compromise. I’m getting an instinct for it every day.”
