Coco Austin and Daughter Rock Matching Bikinis

Model  enjoyed a late winter vacation with her mini-me daughter Chanel over the weekend.

The two spent time by a swimming pool as they worked on their tans as seen in new images posted to Instagram.

They were unwinding at the Baha Mar Resort in Nassau, Bahamas. 

The 46-year-ld star and the nine-year-old child had on matching black-and-white polka-dot bikinis with black lace trim as they were posing side by side.

The wife of Law & Order: SVU actor mentioned in her caption how she and her daughter have a propensity for matching their attire.

'It's been a ritual for Chanel and I to match sometime during our vacations or trips. We've been doing it ever since she was 6 months old and we plan on not stopping anytime soon!' wrote the blonde bombshell next to the collection of snapshots.

'Thank you to @sugardollllz for being apart of our matching journey ❤️ I love modeling your suits.' Sugar And Dollz is the swimsuit brand. 

Austin wore black sunglasses with her hair in braided pigtails that matched Chanel's. They were both barefoot as they strolled around the resort. 

Last she Austin revealed the unique reason she breastfed her daughter  until she was six years old.

Chanel has often been seen being in images shared to Instagram.

Th model shared on Bunnie XO’s Dumb Blonde podcast that she did not do it simply for the nutrition but rather for the 'bonding experience' with her child.

'It wasn’t like I was feeding her because she needed a meal,' the social media pinup said on the show. 'She was able to eat by a year, full solids... It was more that she wanted to be around me.'

The cover girl also said that women in Europe breastfeed their children until they are age seven and it's no big deal to them because 'it's just a boob'.

Still, the red carpet regular admitted that it was 'an extremely long time' to nurse Chanel, whose father is rapper turned Law & Order: SVU actor Ice T.

Austin and Ice have been wed since 2002. 

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends breastfeeding for up to two years of age or beyond, alongside complementary foods starting at six months.

The influencer also explained that breastfeeding helped put Chanel to sleep: 'It was mostly when she went to sleep, [and] she wanted me to be there. So it was more of a comfort thing,' noted the reality TV star.

Austin added that she wanted to stop when Chanel wanted to stop: 'She’s not going to be 16 on my boob. She’s eventually going to figure out that this is kinda strange or weird and stop. And that happened around six.'

In 2021 - when Chanel was age five - Austin said she did not .

The Ice And Coco star said the process was a source of comfort for her daughter during the  crisis.

'Chanel still likes my boobs,' Austin told Us Weekly. 'It's a big bonding moment for a mother and your child,' she continued.

She added: 'Why take that away from her?… If she doesn't want it, all right, that's where you stop it. But I'm not just going to say no.'

In a previous breastfeeding update in 2000, she said: 'At a time when the world feels like its coming to an end.. suck up as much love as you can!

'I know the moms out there will appreciate this pic! Ive been getting a lot of props in the breastfeeding community and get tons of emails from woman/moms appreciating me bringing light to the subject .. 

'I write a baby blog about my journey with Chanel and soon I will write about what it's like to continue boob time with a 4 year old.. I get tons and tons of requests that want me to speak on it! (sic)'  

At the time, Austin insisted that Chanel does eat 'real food' and doesn't get all her nutrients from breast milk, but nurses her to help her relax.

She added: 'At this point in nursing its just for comfort and believe me the girl loves meat so its not like she isn't eating real food... 

'Thank you to all that understand my view.. i see most of you are so eager to side with me and I too root for you in your journey as well.. Us moms are connected (sic)'  

Austin previously said she would be 'so sad' when she has to stop breastfeeding because she loves the 'special' bond she has with her daughter.

She said: 'A mothers calling.... I'm so blessed to have this unbelievable experience in this thing called Nursing..

'I had a hard time breastfeeding the 1st week of when Chanel was born, I almost gave up but my family told me to hang for another week.

'They told me I dont want to miss this special moment you have with your child.. health wise and bond wise..I hung in there and now almost 4 years later Chanel still wants the boob ..

'Its more of a comfort thing now and of course she eats regular but nap time and night time are our time and I'm lucky she hasn't grown out it yet because when that moment comes I will be so sad..its the best feeling and ALL mothers that nurse know.. (sic)'
