Wet nursing too became less common at that time.

The reasons for both are unknown.

Dr Amy Kavanagh was one of the first blind people I found online when I became blind and I learnt a lot from her. it’s been great to see her journey to becoming a mum and here she is raising awareness in Stylist magazine so brilliantly as always! | “I still encounter surprise and shock that I’m and a parent. I recently had a waitress ask with genuine confusion “is that your baby?” when I was in the middle of breastfeeding. I try to ignore these comments but find I do feel the weight of them on me, especially on those hard, exhausting days.”
