I’m a mum-of-10 and was so proud when my daughter got pregnant at 21… now we drink our breast milk together
A MUM-OF-TEN who was overjoyed when her eldest daughter fell pregnant at 21-years-old has revealed that the pair now drink their breast milk together.
Taina Licciardo-Toivola, 45, has three daughters and seven sons with her husband Paul.
The mega mum said she has “spawned a rainbow of children over the last 25 years”.
They are called Leonardo, Cleopatra, Jerusalem, Romeo, D'Artagnan, Shakespeare, Nefertiti, KingJames, Aphrodite and Omega.
Cleopatra, 23, gave birth to a baby girl named Sacagawea in April last year, expanding the already-huge family further.
Five years earlier, Taina welcomed her tenth baby Omega into the world - who she is still breastfeeding.

This means the mother and daughter duo breastfeed their tots at the same time.
They have revealed that they even share a breast pump.
Taina's offspring are known for their YouTube vlogs where they all dress in matching white T-shirts and show love for their large family.
Cleopatra was absent for a while as she moved to Los Angeles, US to live with her husband, John James Jose.

The couple have since split and Cleopatra is back living with her family in Australia to raise her tot alongside her mum.
The mum and daughter duo took to Taina’s YouTube channel to share tips on breastfeeding and clips of them eating ice lollies made from their breast milk.
Taina said: “We’re both breastfeeding.
“It’s lovely being women to breastfeed our little babies.”
Cleopatra beamed: “Yes it is.”
Taina dubbed the ice lollies her “25-year-old breast milk secret”.
She has now passed the secret onto her daughter so that her granddaughter can enjoy the icy “treats” too.
While pumping milk out on camera, Cleopatra explained: “Yes, we use the same breast bump.
“Hospitals do it all the time.”
To make the ice lollies, they pour the breast milk into popsicle makers and leave them to freeze overnight.

And to avoid getting their batches confused, the duo assured they label the ice lolly trays with their initials.
Tania’s goal is to break down the stigmas surrounding breastfeeding and has shared pictures of her tots latched to her boobs throughout the years.
