Happy Workd Breastfeeding Week! We’re 3 years into our beautiful journey. I always wanted I to do it especially after reading up about all the benefits. I wanted to make it as easy as possible for us both to sleep and to keep our baby happy. It ended up saving his life by flushing out the polycythemia as a baby then keeping his airways open while he had sleep apnoea. The hormones that are produced while a Mother is breastfeeding help to keep her aware of her babies breathing even when asleep. The slightest change in his breathing in the sleep apnoea days and I was awake and ready to help him breathe again. So glad our wonderful NHS gave him a tonsillectomy so he could breathe properly. It’s been a long journey and breastfeeding has been there to help all the way through. We love our cuddly bonding time although now it’s mostly when he sleeps and wakes unless poorly. I originally wasn’t keen to feed a toddler as I was constantly told it was weird growing up but seeing the wonderful peer supporter feeding her toddler and chatting to her about it completely normalised it for me. We are so lucky to have such excellent groups in Cornwall. Such as @bumptobreastfalmouth and @breast_intentions_helston. (There are many more I just haven’t visited them) I would love to thank all of the many wonderful Mum’s who give up their time to support us! Just because my son isn’t a baby doesn’t mean he doesn’t still want it and need the comfort. We believe in natural term weaning so when he is ready he will stop. He has already greatly reduced and will stop in his own time. I just want to help normalise infant feeding. Our boobs are for feeding and nurturing and I love it! 🎉🤱🤱🏻🤱🏼🤱🏽🤱🏾🤱🏿🎊 #lactavist #worldbreadt#worldbreasyfeedingweek2020 #nationalbreadtfeedingweek #normalisebreastfeeding #normalizebreastfeeding #breastfeeding #breastfeedingmama #breastfeedingjourney #breastfeedingtoddler #breastfeedingtoddler #naturaltermbreastfeeding #naturaltermweaning #stemcells #comfort #nutrition #mumma #breastfeedingsupport #informedisbest #empoweringwomen #naturalparenting #attachmentparenting #cornishmum #jerseycimums #mumssupportingmums #mumsofinstagram #womensupportingwomen https://www.instagram.com/p/CDcY48LHGmr/?igshid=6pi327vo9k6d

#Repost with @Repostlyapp @kathrinfelber It's #nationalbreastfeedingweek, so #teamtng are talking about breastfeeding. If you've been following my account for a while, you'll know that I'm a mum of three boys, and that I regularly post under #normalizebreastfeeding. I have been breastfeeding for six years altogether, and have been tandem feeding my younger two for the last 1 1/2 years. When my eldest was born, there was no question for me: I was determined that he would be breastfed exclusively. The beginning of our breastfeeding journey wasn't smooth. Getting my tiny baby to latch on and hold his latch proved difficult. There were several factors contributing to the issue: I had small and slightly inverted nipples, but large and engorged breasts. While we stayed in hospital, I had to use the buzzer at each feed to ask for help latching my boy on. My breasts had become public property, were on display, while we were struggling to establish something that I had expected to come naturally. A few days in, one of the midwives suggested that nipple shields might help with the feeds, and they did. I had to brush off disapproving looks from some nurses, but at last, I could feed my boy without needing help. We tried feeding without at each feed, and switched to the shields before he got too frustrated. It took three weeks before my baby was able to keep a latch without them. I am glad that I was well informed about the benefits of breastfeeding because that knowledge helped me persist. #foodnotrude #breastfeeding #naturaltermweaning #extendedbreastfeeding #dunssweden #strawberrymeerkatboutique #mamajewels #breastfeedingmama #nursingnecklace #xcommums #xcomtalk #cedricfrancis #dresskids_likekids #mycolourfulkids #matchymatchy #thenappygurus https://www.instagram.com/p/BzBXH5pFhtb/?igshid=c3ndcvwqy95v

BREASTFEEDING MAMA💕 Thankyou Kathrin 😘 #Repost @kathrinfelber No decent tandem pictures today, even though it feels like these two have been asking for feeds all day long and usually both at the same time. For Yannick, it's mainly for comfort as he's unwell, and Cedric asked for some additional feeds to what he normally takes because he saw his brother... #normalizebreastfeeding #naturaltermweaning #dunssweden #yellowsubmarine #teethingnecklace #cedricfrancis #yannron #rockingmummahood #matchymatchy #fivemamasshine #breastfeeding #breastfeedingmama #styleinspo #Mamajewels https://www.instagram.com/p/BxPRYF9FcaE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nre0uvbx4319
