Alongside the photos she said: "Been trying a little experiment for the last two weeks. Been putting breastmilk on one side of my stomach. I can't believe the difference!!

"For any mums out there breastfeeding, put a little on those tiger stripes."

She explained that she applies a large amount of the milk to her skin, so much that it is dripping off, and then allows it to dry naturally.

The results she shared on Facebook were from three weeks of religiously applying it and it struck a nerve with many mother out there who are keen to try the technique as the post generated more than 9,000 shares.
