A mom who still breastfeeds her 5-year-old daughter before and after school every day claims her milk is so good it has stopped her children from getting sick.

Emma Shardlow Hudson, 29, breastfeeds daughter Alex and son Ollie, 2, in between other meals and sometimes in tandem.

When Alex started nursery school, Emma claims her daughter didn’t pick up any of the same coughs and sniffles as the other children and Emma put it down to her breastmilk.

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.

Britain’s National Health Service recommends that all babies be exclusively breastfed until at least six months old.

Emma said: “It’s one of the biggest achievements of my life for sure, being able to nurture a child with my own body.

“It’s a completely selfless thing to do, but it’s probably the hardest thing I have ever done in my life too.

“Before Alex was born, I wasn’t sure if it was a normal thing to breastfeed for so long.

My kids are rarely ill and I’m almost 100 percent positive that that is because of the antibodies in the milk.

“But it wasn’t even a conscious decision to keep feeding for so long – I just thought why stop when it’s good for them? My attitude has changed over time.

Elderly individuals have experienced much more than we have, possessing wisdom, intelligence, and often being delightful company. However, sometimes, they may not be. We have a joke that is likely to brighten your day. It revolves around a 90–year–old grandpa and his grandson, creating a memorable visit. A man traveled to a remote rural area in his home state to see his 90–year–old grandfather. After spending the night, his grandfather prepared breakfast with eggs and bacon. Upon noticing a filmy residue on his plate, he inquired, “Are these plates clean?” His grandfather responded, “Those plates are as clean as cold water can make them, so go ahead and finish your meal.” During lunch, while eating hamburgers his grandfather had prepared, he noticed small specks along the plate‘s edge and a substance resembling dried egg yolks. He asked again, “Are you certain these plates are clean?” Without lifting his eyes from his hamburger, the grandfather replied, “I already told you; those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them. Don‘t ask me about it again!” Later in the afternoon, as he was leaving to have dinner in a nearby town, the grandfather‘s dog began growling and prevented him from passing. He said, “Grandfather, your dog won‘t let me leave.” Without taking his gaze away from the TV football game, the grandfather yelled, “Cold Water, go lie down!” Feel free to share this humorous anecdote with your friends and family on Facebook.
