I wasn’t expecting THAT question to come this early. Small one is only three! To be fair, her nursery teacher just had a baby so it has been a subject of much discussion at playschool. She seemed pretty certain about it all when we were watching Dumbo a couple of [...]

You can find breastfeeding jewellery all over the place… but I’d never seen jewellery made of breastmilk before this week!
