Panagiota Petridou has been breastfeeding her child for 25 months – and has no plans to stop. She has to listen to comments like “That’s not normal anymore.” Now the TV star is defending herself.
It’s a very emotionally charged topic: breastfeeding. The former “Offering a rusty car, looking for a dream car” moderator reports on Instagram Panagiota Petridou, 44, details her breastfeeding journey, the initial struggles and the benefits. However, the background is sad. According to her own statement, the mother of a now two-year-old child is constantly judged, criticized and asked: “How long do you want to breastfeed?” This year’s “The Big Celebrity Baking” participant only has one answer: “When Mini thinks it’s time.”

Panagiota Petridou is tired of it. The TV car saleswoman has been breastfeeding her child for 25 months, whose birth she announced on Instagram in March 2022. However, this causes some people to frown. Panagiota is not only asked how long she plans to breastfeed. She also has to listen to comments like: “This isn’t normal anymore. Nothing will come of it anymore. The child doesn’t need this at all.” For Petridou this is absurd, she defends herself on Instagram.
“It’s so bizarre, no one says anything when you give your 2-year-old child cow’s milk or powder to drink from a carton or hold a bottle in your hand,” writes the TV star and continues: “But if you still If you’re breastfeeding, you’re exaggerated or even disgusting for some people. Everyone should do what they like, can and want to do.

It also creates “a special bond of absolute trust.” […]. It is the best all-purpose weapon against insecurity, illness, pain and offers total security and love.” The advantages outweigh the advantages. That’s why Panagiota Petridou only wants to stop breastfeeding “when Mini thinks the time has come.”
Important appeal to your followers
At the end, the television face makes an important appeal to his almost 270,000 followers: “Personally, I don’t care who does what with their baby. I neither proselytize nor judge. I also think that women are not put under pressure when it comes to this topic if they don’t want to or can’t from the start. I’m in favor of us concentrating on what’s important: happy and satisfied children with happy mommies!” Where she is right.
