Gemma Atkinson has revealed that she is “sad and relieved” to finish breastfeeding her baby son Thiago. The 38 year old welcomed her second child with Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Gorka Márquez last month and has now opened up about her breastfeeding journey.

On her Instagram Stories, Gemma penned: "Started to send my milk back (currently sat with iced cabbage on my chebs). "Bitter sweet as I know it's the last time feeding for me as we're done on the baby front, so part of me is a little sad & the other part is relieved.

If you've ever brest fed when at times it's been quite difficult & sometimes painful you'll get what I mean!” She continued by saying that she’s looking forward to “my boobs going back to normal” and having Gorka, 32, be able to help feed Thiago during the nights. "I've got lots of expressed milk in the freezer so he'll have about another week taking him to 6 wks which I'm happy with.

In 5 wks he's gone from 7lb 13 to almost ilb so I've fattened him up nicely . "I'm looking forward to my boobs going back to normal size, my back ache to subside and to be able to get gorka on the night feeds as well when he's home.” Gemma continued by encouraging new and future mums to make their own minds up about how they feed their newborns.
