As we look forward to Valentine’s Day, this fourth Carnival of Breastfeeding presents several variations on the theme “Baby Love.”
Perhaps breastfeeding is helping you bond with your child after a traumatic birth (Motherwear Breastfeeding Blog) or you’re first meeting your son after a cesarean (Cairo Mama). Maybe you’re just finding out that love makes you […]
Yesterday I received a lovely email from a mother who came across Breastfeeding 1-2-3 and felt inspired to share her breastfeeding story. Jennifer writes:
“My little darling, Faith, is 31 months old and still nursing on demand and I fully intend to allow her to decide when it’s time to wean. I’m working from home, so […]
At 2:30 a.m. I stumbled through the dark to my toddler’s bed. I didn’t bother to put my eyeglasses on even though everything appeared quite fuzzy to me without them. I could hear my daughter crying for me and I could vaguely make out her tiny form in the bed. I lay down next to […]
Coralie of ferrousland from Brisbane, Australia, shared her extended breastfeeding story “Still Breastfeeding at 3″ with me:
“i’m not sure if many of you realise, since i don’t mention it all that often here because it’s such a normal part of our lives, that smiley is still actively breastfeeding.
i don’t go out of my way to […]
Carolyn came across the Mom-to-Mom post on toddler nursing and left a very nice comment (thanks so much Carolyn and thanks to all 12 people who left comments on that post!) Because her comment tells such a wonderful story with her perspective on nursing each of her seven children, I thought I would share it […]
My husband was integral in supporting breastfeeding after the births of each of my daughters. I am so fortunate that he watched his younger brother nurse well into toddlerhood. He got an excellent and lasting lesson in the importance of breastfeeding!
My husband was instrumental in helping me establish a successful nursing relationship with my first-born. […]
Part I and Part II of my breastfeeding story continue:
After my newborn’s arrival, our mother-toddler-newborn nursing triumvirate went through a three-month adjustment period. My toddler was thrilled with the return of plentiful milk, and I think she was grateful to her baby sister for that! My newborn also nursed like a pro, just like her […]
My story continues after Part I with the description of how I was diagnosed with Graves’ Disease and kept breastfeeding while on medication. Then:
When my daughter’s first teeth finally started coming in, they contained pitting and staining. The first dentist to examine her informed me that the damage was due to breastfeeding and night-nursing. I […]
Long before I had my first daughter, I had resolved to breastfeed my children. I knew my mother had breastfed me for one year, and my mother-in-law had breastfed my husband for two-and-a-half years. As I went through months of infertility, I watched my friends breastfeed their babies, and I saw how happy their babies […]
Before I became pregnant, I was surprised to hear that some mothers breastfed their children beyond the first year. Then my daughter was born and we embarked on our nursing relationship. Almost immediately it became clear that breastfeeding was much more than infant nutrition that could be replaced with cow’s milk at a year of […]
