Hello Mamas!
Although each nursing couple is unique, one thing we know for certain is that all breastfeeding relationships change and progress as time goes on. At this week's morning meeting we'll chat about nursing our babies into toddlerhood, and all the amusing and at times frustrating things that go with it! 

These can be great opportunities to work on setting limits using gentle discipline. Respectful and gradual weaning is something we often think about at this stage, as well as dealing with questions of whether to continue nursing in public, and fielding questions and criticism from others. 

And we always make space for any other concerns or questions you may have!

See you Tuesday, June 16 @10am

If you have any breastfeeding concerns or questions, you can still contact us via phone, email, or Facebook.
