Extended breastfeeding – that is, breastfeeding your child after the age of one – isn't very common in Western cultures. In Australia, for example, only 28 per cent of mums breastfeed past 12 months; by 18 months, that number has dropped to 9 per cent. And by the time the child is two years old, only 5 per cent of mums are still breastfeeding.

But some mums and their children, like Jade Beall and her son Sequoia, continue even as the child has well and truly added solid food to their diet.

Beall, a photographer who specialises in taking photos of mothers and their babies, usually chooses to breastfeed Sequoia, now 3½, in private. This week, however, she shared portraits of her breastfeeding her preschooler.

The images have been shared and 'liked' on Facebook thousands of times, and have started a wider conversation about breastfeeding past the baby years.  

"I admit that I never breastfeed my son in public anymore," she wrote with the photo. "I feel like somehow I would be committing a criminal act when all I am doing is providing comfort and nourishment for my son.
