Ok so I’m nearly 6 weeks in exclusively breastfeeding my third babe, Winnie. I exclusively pumped for Charlie (babe no.1)for his whole life (12 days). And I fed Dolly (babe no.2) until she was 17 months.  Baby no.1 Charlie 22/10/2010 Charlie was born at 32 weeks by emergency c-section, I  hadn’t put much thought into feeding I just thought I would formula feed, I was 18 and hadn’t had much experience with baby’s. Charlie also had a condition called gastroschisis, it’s a birth defect which affects the abdominal wall, his intestines were on the outside of his body. He would need surgery to correct this. When Charlie landed on the unit at Liverpool’s Women’s Hospital doctor’s advised me that he would need either my milk or donor milk. I decided my milk would be best and started the pumping journey, every two hours I would religiously pump sometimes next to the incubator ( I find that helps with milk supply as you can see your babe). If I could not pump next to the incubator
