A gofundme page was opened for her and strangers have pitched in to help, so far, £5100 has been raised. Meanwhile other mums have even been donating their own breast milk after Sarah had to stop breastfeeding two weeks after Kal-El was born to continue with chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

"There have been 27 women who've donated milk to feed my son. And he's amazing. I keep saying God must know I want him on breast milk, because he's not picky. He will take anyone's milk," Sarah told Today .

Kal-El is now six months old and Sarah is recovering at home.
