The American Beauty Star host and husband Justin Ervin welcomed twins Malachi and Roman in January 2022, two years after the arrival of son Isaac, now 2. Graham told guest host Chelsea Handler that she exclusively breast-fed her eldest child, but she reconsidered the process after giving birth for the second time.

“There’s also this whole thing with people telling you how to feed your child,” the Nebraska native said. “So, with my first kid I was like, ‘I can only breastfeed! This is the right way!’ And then I had the twins, and I was like, ‘I’m not doing this. This is not working here. Both of you want both of these? This is a lot of work.”

On January 7, the supermodel and her spouse, Justin Ervin, welcomed their two daughters. Αshley has never been hesitant to discuss her lactation struggles and other difficulties she confronts as a mother of three on social media.

The model, who is a mother of three, discusses issues facing new mothers on Instagram. Αfter the birth of her first child, Isaac, in January, Αshley Graham welcomed twins Malachi and Roman. In order to provide the two infants with all the affection and milk they require, the model is defying the typical exhaustion that new mothers experience.

Graham stated a month ago that she learned to feed his sons simultaneously, albeit with some discomfort. Before the two begin to bond properly, “a few weeks of trial and error” and “many tears” are required.

The model posted a photo to her Instagram Stories that depicted her ‘typical breastfeeding position,’ which consisted of her seated in a chair with both infants splayed across her chest. Αshley was already a mother to Isaac when she gave birth to the twins; however, while breastfeeding Isaac was simple and required only “a day or two,” the same could not be said for the twins.

In a receпt interview, Graham was candid about the aftermath of pregnancy that every woman goes through but doesn’t share. For example, “how your body changes when you’re pregnant, and the stretch marks and the loose skin, the formula, the breastfeeding,” she shares.

Graham also adds the factor of how people tell yoυ to feed your child. She is emphatic in her message that every mother has the right to choose whether breastfeeding is right for her, regardless of society’s expectations.

Graham decided to stop breast-feeding Malachi and Roman last year after they turned 5 months old and switched to “the best formula” she could find. “These little guys are so strong and so happy, so I don’t think we should be telling people how they should be feeding their kids,” she concluded.
