A MUM-OF-THREE has hit back at cruel trolls who have called her "disgusting" for still breastfeeding her toddler.
Emma, who posts under the account name @a_mothers_tale, took to TikTok and posted a video where she explained that she's currently in the process of "weaning" her two-year-old son off breastmilk.
In the clip, which is captioned 'First rule of wean club: never sit down', the toddler is seen pulling at Emma's top signifying he wants tobe breastfed.
But within 24 hours of sharing the video, Emma revealed that she'd been flooded with a barrage of abuse on social media.
"When you post a video on TikTok of you weaning your two-year-old and wake up to this…the judgement was/is shocking," she said.
In direct response to the backlash she received, Emma explained: "When I tell you I was shocked, my jaw was literally on the floor, I can't believe the hate I've woken up to this morning.
