I struggled with latching with my daughter, but we overcame it and went on to nurse 4 1/2 years, which included breastfeeding while pregnant, and tandem nursing my with my son. He latched well, he decided he was done nursing at 4 months, so while my daughter continued to breastfeed, I transitioned to pumping 4 times a day for him while supplementing with formula for the rest of his needs. No baby

After a year of breastfeeding, you may think you have this thing down...

Then your baby becomes a toddler.

Toddler nursing can be amazing, but also has unique demands that are very different from those of infancy.

I have found that extended nursing moms move through 5 phases before successful weaning.

Breastfeeding burnout doesn't discriminate. As a mother, it's easy to forget that our partners are also affected by the demands of extended nursing. 😩

They want to support us, but they may not know how. They miss us and crave physical connection, but they also understand (okay, sometimes they don't get it) why we're touched out at the end of the day. It can be a frustrating and isolating experience for everyone involved.

But weaning may not be the solution. Removing your child's primary source of comfort without additional tools can make things worse. Instead, let's work together to find new ways to build connections and implement breastfeeding boundaries that work for your family. 🍼😍

Being a mom comes with a lot of emotional weight, especially when preparing to step away from your little one for the first time. 💔

The worries, the guilt, the endless questions—it's all part of the journey. Remember, you deserve self-care and time for yourself, too. 🌸 You’re doing an amazing job, and finding balance is tough, but you are more resilient than you know.

My 7 1/2 year old started talking about how good my milk was, and how it changed flavors based on what I ate.

Vegetables! Ice cream! Protein bar! These are the flavor core memories from her toddler years, lol 😄
