Hi everyone, I have been very lucky with my supply of breast milk - so much so that I have absolutely loads of it in my freezer and it keeps on coming.

Just wondering when is acceptable to breastfeed until as I want to do it as long as possible as am absolutely loving this journey and never want it to end, and I really couldn’t care less about the opinions of others.
