Teen Mom Nikkole Paulun has shut down trolls who demanded that the TV star should stop sharing videos of herself breastfeeding her newborn son Bodhi.
The 16 & Pregnant star shared her response to a follower’s comment about her recent posts on Instagram Stories as she made it clear she would not tolerate such interactions.
According to The Sun, the follower had written: ‘Stop showing yourself feeding your child. We all know how kids are fed.’
To which the 27-year-old mother responded: ‘If seeing a woman breastfeed makes you uncomfortable that’s a YOU problem.’
She continued: ‘I think it’s important to share breastfeeding photos, breastfeed in public, and breastfeed in front of your children. It’s one of the most natural things in the world yet we’ve created taboo around it. You wouldn’t say this to a bottle feeding mother so why say it to me?’
After posting another photo in which she was breastfeeding her youngest child, one fan asked: ‘Why don’t you keep these type of photos for yourself?’
Nikkole once again fired back and replied: ‘If you’re going to be one of these people simply unfollow.’
The reality TV star shares three children with husband Kyle Ledda; son Lyle, 11, and six-year-old daughter Ellie Jade.
The proud mom gave birth to her third child on July 7, after previously suffering a miscarriage, and has been sharing updates with fans in the weeks since.
In one post where she could be seen breastfeeding which wearing adult diaper underwear, she wrote: ‘Welcome to the 4th trimester. Where time is measured in feedings & diaper changes. Where nights turn into days & days turn into nights and before you know it you’ve lost all track of time.
‘Where you’re so, so freakin tired, but you never stop going and giving your baby everything they need. Where the outfit of the day includes a diaper for both you AND baby, milk stained shirts, and pants that don’t fit right. Where your heart is exploding with love while your breasts are exploding with milk.’
She continued: ‘Where you look in the mirror and realize you don’t look pregnant anymore but don’t quite look like your old self either. Where you feel so incredibly proud of your body but wonder where the old you went and if you’ll ever get her back.

‘Where your tired eyes & sore breasts have nothing on the overwhelming awe of this little human that just came out of you. Where it can be really hard some days but when they’re finally snuggled up in your arms fast asleep, it feels so worth it.’
The TV star concluded: ‘Where you’re not going to love every moment and that’s okay. Where it goes by so fast so you try to soak it all in, cherish the good moments, and remember the bad ones won’t last forever. ❤️’.
