When Alex started nursery school, Emma claims her daughter didn\u2019t pick up any of the same coughs and sniffles as the other children and Emma put it down to her breastmilk<\/p>\n
Alex usually breastfeeds once in the morning and once in the evening and while the little girl can go days without milk she will always want some when she needs comforting.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore Alex was born, I wasn\u2019t sure if it was a normal thing to breastfeed for so long.<\/p>\n
My kids are rarely ill and I\u2019m almost 100 percent positive that that is because of the antibodies in the milk.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
