Celebrity extended breastfeeding debate

Overview

In late July 2026, Polish actress Kamila Kamińska sparked public discussion by continuing to breastfeed her five‑year‑old daughter. She framed the practice as natural, noted supportive comments from other women, and dismissed online mockery as typical trolling.

A week later, German television presenter Panagiota Petridou echoed the same stance, describing her four‑year‑plus breastfeeding of her son as "the most natural thing in the world" and saying she would repeat it despite negative social‑media reactions. Petridou highlighted partner support and personal resolve, and referenced other public figures such as former model Sara Kulka, who also faced criticism for her own extended‑breastfeeding choices.

Both snapshots illustrate an ongoing controversy across Europe in which high‑profile parents defend long‑term breastfeeding against a wave of online criticism, emphasizing personal autonomy over public opinion.
