“Don’t quit on a bad day. That was some of the best advice I got”
Lily shares her experiences with breastfeeding, reflecting on both the challenges and the rewards. Emphasising the importance of support and preparation, Lily advises others to educate themselves about breastfeeding and to be ready for its challenges. She shares her strong views on extended breastfeeding and believes it's a natural and beneficial choice for both mother and child.
“I'm quite passionate that six months isn't this arbitrary cutoff point where it stops being good for them. I'm really pro-extended breastfeeding or natural term breastfeeding”
