Kim said she was very well supported in the process of understanding how to top up with the milk so was focusing on her own milk coming through.

“My supply got greater and within six weeks, we were able to enjoy breastfeeding, and I continued to breastfeed for three years.

Indigo said: “Thank you all the mummies for my milk.”
