A mum has divided opinion after ordering a busty boob cake for her toddler son.
Genie Kaur, 39, ordered a busty Victoria Sponge with ‘Happy 3rd Birthday Kamron’ in baby blue sugar icing underneath it.
She wanted it to be a celebration of the end of breastfeeding her son.
However, when she shared the picture on Instagram, the mother-of-two from Barton Seagrave, Northamptonshire, faced a backlash.
She said: ‘I was quite shocked by the responses. Lots of people were critical, not just of the cake, but also because I was breastfeeding a three-year-old.’
After she served it up at his party on May 4, Kamron had his own reaction on the matter
Genie said: ‘It was to celebrate and maybe wean him off. We explained it was the last time, but instead of him being happy, he was sad. He was very vocal saying he wanted his “booba”.’
She has defended the birthday cake and said she’s going to continue giving him her milk.


She said: ‘Breastfeeding is working for me, so what’s everyone’s problem? There’s so much pressure from society to stop.
‘Breasts are sexualised. This is for the comfort of my son. You can make it a beautiful weaning journey and we meet each other’s needs.’
The debate her post created has led to her feeling defiant.


She said: ‘I had intended to stop breastfeeding, but since the debate started on social media, I’ve decided to carry on until we are both ready to stop.
‘I’ve done lots of research, and breastfeeding at this age is really good for them. Why should I bow to society’s pressures?
‘It’s baby-led feeding and he’s not ready to give up and I don’t think I am. I never planned this. I haven’t put any pressure on myself.
‘What’s everyone’s problem with it? People say it’s not natural – but it is.’
Referring to herself as a spokesperson for breastfeeding toddlers, she said: ‘I would say to all mums, don’t give up. Don’t let people tell you what to do. If you are not ready to give up – don’t.’
Experts at the World Health Organisation and NHS seem united in their advice, recommending breast feeding for two years and beyond.
Research also suggests that breastfed children perform better on intelligence tests and are less likely to be overweight.
