Ferne McCann said it is “like liquid gold”

Ferne McCann has opened up about why she drinks her own breast milk.
During an interview on Steph’s Packed Lunch, the mum admitted she drinks it because it’s “like liquid gold”.
McCann has two children – six-month-old daughter Finty with Lorri Haines and six-year-old Sunday with her ex Arthur Collins.
“It’s like liquid gold,” she said.
“I’ve come up with all sorts of ideas. I was like, ‘Could you make breast milk into ice cream?’ And then it got me thinking, ‘I actually want to see how well it froths up’, because Lorri loves his macchiato and he’s very particular, so imagine if it froths so I could slip a little bit into his morning coffee.”
“Finty, when she was born, had a little bit of weeping eye, and the community midwives are like, ‘Put a little bit of breast milk on’,” McCann explained.
“If Lorri had a blister I would suggest squeezing a little bit onto the blister, it’d be healed in moments.”
In a recent interview with OK Magazine, the mum of two reiterated her position, and called her breastfeeding experiences “empowering” and “intimate”.
“We know the health benefits and how incredible it is for the baby and for the mother as well,” she said.
“I understand that not everyone can breastfeed. Not every mother can do it physically for various reasons, but for me, it’s been such an empowering, beautiful and very intimate experience.”
“Lots of people think you are attention-seeking, but you’re not,” McCann continued.
