Tamara, 30, hasn't been short of criticism lately, following the recent photo of herself feeding daughter Sophia, one, on holiday in a swimming pool. Captioning the intimate image "It's thirsty work”, she was flooded with backlash

One user commented: "Cover up with a blanket, nobody has any morals and no I don't want to see your boob and neither does my husband, we all know your child has to eat blah blah blah, pump before you go out or cover up"

Appearing on Lorraine recently, Tamara hit back saying: "I thought it was so cute and i didn't realise that it was going to cause so much controversy, I didn't realise that people would have so many opinions on it, it was such a natural moment, it wasn't calculated. If someone is bottle feeding their baby…nobody would have anything to say about it."

Clearly stunned by the amount of controversy it caused, the Formula 1 heiress showed just how unbothered she is by the criticism with a pro-breatfeeding message.

It read: "People always want to see your breasts, until you're feeding a baby then it's considered indecent…anyone else see the flaw in this logic?" She went on to caption the image "Confusing"

This isn't the first time that Tamara has hit the headlines for breastfeeding: back in November she posed in a photo shoot breastfeeding Sophia at a dinner table, while husband Jay Rutland, 34, sat beside her reading a newspaper.

Speaking at the time about the intimate photo shoot, Tamara commented: "Motherhood has empowered me. It has changed me as a person for the better. i love my family and my daughter."

We can't see Tamara stopping her breastfeeding ways anytime soon!
