A MUM-of-eight has revealed she has been breastfeeding continuously for 15 years despite thinking she'd never conceive because of an incurable medical condition.
Their fifth son, Jasper, now seven, was born in 2012, followed by three more, all almost two years apart to the day - Vera, four, Benji, two, and Elsie, five months. "We felt like there might be another one out there for us, so along came our fifth boy, and the same cycle continued, so then along came another three.Credit: MDWfeatures / Greta Dench
"I am up early at 4.30am to feed the baby and put her back to sleep. I then go for a run to be back for six to have a coffee and quiet moment with hubby; the kids are all up by seven in the morning," said Greta.Credit: MDWfeatures / Greta Dench"They all have their job or routine. Jobs not done means no screen time later that day. They have to pack their own lunchboxes with pre-made sandwiches and snacks from 'snack tubs'.
"It also can be a lonely place because with so many, invites out can be few and far between and life is just so busy we don't have much time for a social life."
That's a long time. 🙂
