Breastfeeding your baby

“I get negative comments all the time”

“Breastfeeding is the most natural thing in the world – and it’s so good for my son that I don’t see any reason to stop. I would never tell other women they have to breastfeed because it’s down to individual choice. And by the same token if a mum wants to carry on breastfeeding until her child is 5, 6 or 7 that’s fine too.”

Nell McAndrew, 35, model and mum to Devon, 2, speaking in the Daily Mirror
