Breastfeeding a 4 year old with Stella and Michelle

This week, I’m speaking to the wonderful Stella and Michelle, about breastfeeding their 4 year old nurslings. They delve into the challenges, societal perceptions, and personal boundaries set throughout their journeys. Both emphasize the importance of following your instincts, setting limits, and maintaining emotional connections. They highlight the misconceptions around breastfeeding older children and offer valuable advice on dealing with judgemental relatives, starting school and breastfeeding manners with older children.My picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie’s Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies. In the UK, you can also buy it from The Children’s Bookshop in Muswell Hill, London. Other book shops and libraries can source a copy from Ingram Spark publishing.You can also get 10% off my books on supporting breastfeeding beyond six months and supporting the transition from breastfeeding at the Jessica Kingsley press website, that's uk.jkp.com using the code MMPE10 at checkout.Follow me on Instagram  @emmapickettibclc or find out more on my website www.emmapickettbreastfeedingsupport.com This podcast is presented by Emma Pickett IBCLC, and produced by Emily Crosby Media.
