Breastfeeding a newborn – normal. But breastfeeding a toddler, is that normal? Yes, in fact the World Health Organisation recommends breastfeeding to 2 and beyond. So why don’t we see it and talk about it more?

Today I speak with IBCLC Susie Prout about the practicalities of breastfeeding older kids. We talk about introducing solids, introducing boundaries around breastfeeding. How breastfeeding works with changes to life like returning to work, being pregnant, tandem feeding. We talk about if breastfeeding older children affects their emotional dependence and some tips on weaning, for when the time is right.
