On the whole, I think the women were all portrayed very well, I particularly liked the woman who donated so much milk to the NHS. Unfortunately the woman who referred to it as a ’sexual’ thing did very little to help the cause- and sadly it is the negative points, however minor, that are often the ones that are remembered and referred to afterwards.

Ive been fortunate to have successfully breastfed my daughter for 15 months (and still going strong), but would have certainly been open to wet nursing had I been unable to feed her myself- even more so after watching the show. I would also breastfeed another child if I needed to.

I think the woman who induced her lactation after adoption was a fantastic role model, and she was absolutely correct when she said that most women quit too easily. Personally I struggled to get it right for a good 6 weeks, which were the toughest of my life- but they were worth every minute for the breastfeeding relationship that developed from it.

Thanks!
