Toddler Nursing

Submit your question and we’ll answer it in a future episode!

Are you breastfeeding a toddler?

Are you breastfeeding a newborn wondering how you possibly breastfeed a toddler?

Has someone told you to “stop breastfeeding when they can ask for it”

Breastfeeding a toddler is very different from breastfeeding a newborn.  Listen up for more info on this.  And spoiler alert – babies ask to breastfeed the minute they come out of the womb so that’s not a valid argument.

 If you are a new listener, we would love to hear from you.  Please consider leaving us a review on itunes or sending us an email with your suggestions and comments to [email protected]
