It's the first food for a large number of the population, and many consider it to be one of the best starts in life a mother can give her child.

And nutrient-rich, there is no denying that breast milk has myriad benefits for babies.

But now one company has made the controversial move of using breast milk in a new vanilla ice cream aimed at adults.

Royal Baby Gaga ice cream is the brainchild of breastfeeding campaigner Victoria Hiley. 

The 30-year-old mother from Leeds has collaborated with London-based ice-creamery The Licktators to launch the dessert in celebration of the forthcoming birth of the Royal baby

Ms Hiley, said she wanted to remind the Duchess of Cambridge, and mothers around the country, of the benefits of breastfeeding. 

And also how delicious breast milk is, whatever your age.

Royal Baby Gaga ice cream is made by The Licktators with donated breast milk - screened in line with hospital standards - and blended with Madagascan Vanilla.

Ms Hiley was involved in the launch of Baby Gaga breast milk ice cream in 2011 and teamed up again with ice cream maker Matt O'Connor to create the product.

A 500ml tub of Royal Baby Gaga has an RSP of £19.99 and is available in pink and blue tubs. 

All profits are to be donated to a breastfeeding charity.

'There was huge support from breastfeeding women for Baby Gaga ice cream in 2011, yet some politicians still stigmatise women for breastfeeding in public,' Ms Hiley said.

'We thought the birth of a royal baby was a great time to whip up support for mums and say that when it comes to ice cream this summer, breast is best.

'After all, what else would you give your young prince or princess?'

The product will be available for sale at selected stores in London this summer and online at thelicktators.com.
