According to dailymail Ms Sumpter, 44, insists she will continue until Belle decides it is time to stop.
'I don’t know how long that will be. It will be the same with Beau. I don’t think there’s anything weird about it. I feed both children on demand - whenever they want it.'
Belle is a head taller than most of her classmates and is rarely ill. Her mother puts this down to her 'mama’s milk', which she also says is responsible for the confidence of her clever daughter - a talented violinist, singer and dancer who is top of the class in most subjects.
Ms Sumpter, a PhD student of ancient science, says: 'I have two healthy, bright, confident children who I truly believe have benefitted from breast milk, and continue to do so.'
She also has the backing of partner Jules Deering, 47, a technical director at a university drama department.
'Breastfeeding hasn’t impacted my sex life in any way,' she adds. 'It hasn’t ruined my breasts.'
In fact she credits it with helping her keep her figure and her health, saying: 'I’m protected from various cancers and can eat what I want without gaining weight.'
But she insists that the benefits it gives to her children are the driving force. 'Mothers who feed for longer are often accused of being selfish,' she says.
'There are things I get out of it - like calm, happy children. But I can say with certainty I’ve done this entirely for the benefit of my kids.
'When Belle finishes I’ll be sad but it’s a natural progression. Her milk teeth are going and I get the impression she won’t be feeding for much longer. But she can take her time.'
