It’s always so nice to see other moms who are practicing extended nursing. Sometimes I feel very much alone! You are right that we were meant to do this! (And I too, have never felt sleep deprived, thanks to co-sleeping and night nursing!!! Such a wonderful way to go about motherhood and keep your sanity! :) )

I just love this post! Everything is so true. I also think, for me anyway, that breastfeeding helped me get over the blues of not having her inside me. There were no baby blues.

What inspiration! I didn’t even consider the “not eating veggies” concern. Beautiful pics too.

I refer to our lactation consultant as an angel – without her I don’t know how we would have had a successful breastfeeding relationship. During my son’s almost week long stint in the NICU, our LC was in our room every day for hours, patiently helping my lazy latching son nurse correctly. When the doctors pressured me to supplement with formula, our LC helped me stand up to them.
Two years later, our breastfeeding relationship couldn’t be stronger. It is such a blessing!

We had latch issues too–especially the first time, but the second time my midwife helped me fix them so quick that it’s hardly something I remember. It’s good that you nursed him so long. I breastfed my daughter for 21 months, and it ended during my pregnancy with her sister. I really wish I’d encouraged her to keep going and then tandem nursed. If (or more likely when) I have it to do over again, I will.
