She thanked her 1.4M Instagram followers or their support of her situation, and acknowledged a supporter that once told her 'It's ok to stop too, it doesn't make you a bad mum', claiming hat she "really needed to hear that".

Millie added, "After mentioning it on social media I was flooded with messages and although there was a lot of support with people sharing different remedies that could help, I really felt the pressure to just keep going even though I was literally crying in pain every time I needed to feed."
