Breastfeeding MommaIf you are breastfeeding and you are getting the,  “Are you still breastfeeding??!!!” From friends and family,  then this is for you. I am still breastfeeding, not all day but morning and night. He doesn’t like milk so needed to make sure he was still getting the best nutrients my body could give him. The thing is, why am I even making an excuse? Isn’t it the most natural of foods and drink that I can give my child? I’m a world full of so many unnatural. Why did God even give us this ability to produce, if not to be used? This part of the article below is exactly my point when I try to explain why I am still going. I don’t understand how breastfeeding after 6 months became so taboo for our culture. It’s what we did from the beginning of time because it worked and it still does. Let’s stop judging one side or the other. Feeding our babies is best! So if this is how I am choosing to feed, please leave me alone just like you would a formula-fed baby. Thank youπŸ™πŸ½The best part;Breastfeeding after the first birthdayIf your toddler is continuing to breastfeed, congratulations. Extended nursing (breastfeeding beyond the first year) isn’t for everyone, but it brings plenty of benefits.Even though your child now gets most of her nutrition from solid food, breast milk provides calories, vitamins, enzymes, and valuable immunities. Studies have even shown that breastfed toddlers get sick less often.Contrary to popular belief in the U.S., breastfeeding past 12 months of age does not make kids overly dependent. Nursing creates a strong bond and provides emotional support that encourages independence and self-confidence.
