'It's just as natural as a hug': The mother who thinks it is fine to breastfeed her FIVE-YEAR-OLD son, uses her milk as medicine and shuns schooling to bring up their children 'off-grid'


Adele, 32, and Matt Allen, 33, from Brighton, call their parenting style 'Off-Grid Parenting' and their children Ulysses, five and Ostara, one, are therefore both still breastfed, have never visited a doctor and will not attend a mainstream school. 


Adele gave birth to both her children completely unassisted and with no medical intervention with only her husband Matt by her side. She decided to have 'lotus births' meaning her placenta and umbilical cords were not surgically removed at birth. Instead, she carried the attached placenta in a cool bag - scattered with salt and rose petals to disguise the smell - around with her until it fell off naturally. Aside from a hospital trip with Ulysses following an asthma attack, the Allen children have never seen a doctor or received vaccinations.
