This week in the UK it is National Breastfeeding Week
I am a proud breastfeeding mummy
I am currently nursing my fifth baby
My breastfeeding journey began in 2010
When my IVF twins were born at 27 weeks
It was not the beginning to parenting
I had imagined
It was some of the toughest days and weeks of my life
But it was also a very special experience
And we were lucky
We made it out of the NICU doors and home
I fed Esther and William from their birth
Albeit via a tube
Until they were 15 months old
I fed Matilda Mae for 9 months
The whole 9 months of her life
I nursed Bea for 2 and a half years
And I am now 7 weeks into feeding Edie Mae
Below are 10 posts I have written about breastfeeding
Over the last seven years
That go some way to sharing
What has been the most incredible journey

Tips for Trying To Conceive While Breastfeeding
I didn’t realise it was national breastfeeding week. I am still feeding Lia once every few days and she’s 3 now. It has so many benefits I see no reason to stop before she’s ready.
