She is breastfeeding her Bachelor baby! Bekah Martinez has two kids with her husband, Grayston Leonard, and has been transparent about her breastfeeding journey with both.
9 months ago, the reality show host welcomed her baby girl, Ruth She said that she would breastfeed the baby girl “as long as” she can.
The California native shared her thoughts the reason on the Instagram Stories in the month of November of 2019: “I get the question frequently: “How long you going to breastfeed How long will you breast-feed for?’ … There’s nothing unusual about breastfeeding a baby who’s 2 years old. It’s a bonding time, and helps boost immunity. It’s only odd in the event that you still believe in your mind that the breasts are sexually intimate for both mother and child. If you believe that, who’s the one who’s weird?”
The former ABC presenter was later quoted as describing her breastfeeding schedule by saying that she breastfeeds “frequently and as long as” is possible to maintain her milk supply as she studies at her studies at the University of California Irvine.
“I don’t pump unless I’m at school,” Martinez stated. “I supplement my formula with the days I’m not having to place pressure on myself to produce enough milk the time I’m away. My experience is that stress equals lower milk production.”
It’s the “Chatty Broads” podcast cohost’s son, Franklin, arrived in June 2020. She posted a picture of his younger sister and him simultaneously.
“In case you were wondering how the breast-feeding is going,” Martinez wrote in the caption of the caption of an Instagram Story selfie with her newborn and toddler.
The owner of the rock climbing gym started dating in 2018 and plan to continue expanding their family. “I would be fine with five or six [kids],” Martinez exclusively revealed to DailyGossip in August, 2019. “Maybe just five.”
The original plan was to sit “a couple of years” before having a baby. 2. “We can travel with [Ruth] really easily, so we want to stick with her and then go for the rest,” Martinez said to Us at the time.

Is It Time To Call It Quits?
“Honestly so over tandem nursing but so scared of the weaning process,” Martinez posted on May 2021’s Instagram Stories with selfies. “At this moment, I may quit breastfeeding completely. I’m afraid of what Ruth will react if she’s not allowed to the boob while Frank nursed. It’s not going well.”
