Thanks for your thoughtful comments on my breastfeeding burnout. I took what was written to heart and instituted the following steps:
1. I night-weaned my 2.5-year old, again. A few months ago when she contracted rotavirus and started to get dehydrated, I nursed her unrestricted around the clock. Then we went on vacation, and I knew […]
Okay, that title is a little dramatic, but I truly believe that breastfeeding kept my toddler out of the emergency room yesterday. She woke up with some sort of stomach virus and quickly started to become dehydrated. Fortunately I could convince her to nurse in between her requests for just a “tiny ‘yittle’ bit of […]
It’s been over a week so I feel confident saying that I’ve successfully night-weaned my toddler. I know there are those of you who aren’t impressed that it took 27 months to accomplish this task, but I’m quite proud that it was accomplished gently, slowly and without tears. It ended up taking three phases.
1. Separate […]
My two-year-old is feeling much better today. Yesterday she couldn’t keep down any food in spite of her interest in solids. I told her that she could have food again once she stopped spitting up and in the meantime she could nurse. She was alright with that but told me that she’d be all better […]
My two-year-old has some sort of virus. I’ll spare you the graphic details and simply say that this is one of those times when I’m so glad to be breastfeeding.

Everyone knows that safely swaddling a newborn can help the baby fall asleep and stay asleep for longer periods of time. Unfortunately, each of my daughters tolerated swaddling for about three weeks and then protested it vehemently. They wanted those little arms out! I could wrap their lower bodies but heaven forbid I try to […]
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 […]
