In honor of #WorldBreastfeedingWeek and the fact I unhid my blog. Reposting this response to an old scandal about #breastfeeding older babies. https://jennyfoxe.blogspot.com/2012/05/?m=1

Go Rihanna - breastfeeding her toddler while pregnant at a news junket during #WorldBreastfeedingWeek.

A long time ago now, but so many people (including doctors) told me I'd have to stop when I was pregnant. I went on to tandem nurse for 2 years. Eldest weaned at 4, younger at 5.

When I wrote about it people commented that my kids would be bullied and ashamed. Grown now, they are not embarrassed at all.

Best parenting the big feelings of a toddler tool ever.

Happy #WorldBreastfeedingWeek and #lowmilksupplyawarenessday

This has been a 4 year journey of grief and trauma, but we are in a place of healing and love now and I am so grateful 💛

Happy #WorldBreastfeedingWeek certainly challenging to do & maintain. I’m still going strong with my boys (trying to wean the older one!) Professionally I would love to see more meetings advise from the get go about pumping/feeding spaces rather then always having to check & ask

🤔 How can partners step up to support #breastfeeding?
👉 Partners can take on tasks that help breastfeeding to be a main priority — ensuring the health and wellbeing of the baby far into the future.

#WorldBreastfeedingWeek I nursed the twins one at a time their first 2 days of life in the hospital, one right after the other. We were home night 3 and both were crying hysterically so I somehow managed to latch them at the same time and we've been tandem nursing ever since.
