Breast is best for John Humphrys

A tale, now, from the pages of Mother & Baby magazine, and it's not often Monkey gets to say that. But then, it's not often you get a story involving Today presenter John Humphrys, a cup of tea, and former BBC arts correspondent Rosie Millard's breast milk. Over to Millard, who writes about the practicalities, or otherwise, of being a working mum of three. "By the time the nanny arrived my shirt would be emblazoned with two saucer-sized circles of milk because I should have left 40 minutes ago and pumped a couple of bottles of milk out in the disabled loo at work, which I would store in the fridge belonging to the Today programme. Once there was a complaint on my desk from the Disabled Unit, suggesting that my discreet milking sessions might stop a disabled person having a wee. Anyway, the pumping sessions soon ended when a colleague informed me that someone on the Today programme had spiked John Humphrys' morning coffee with my expressed milk." Humphrys had no recollection of the incident, but said it wouldn't have been the first time he'd drank breast milk.
