Breastfeeding Toddlers and Fun Goodies

by

161052_lactation2.jpgThe Motherwear Blog has a great list up of breastfeeding freebies that all nursing moms would love to have. Everything from free videos and posters, to books for kids, and a great recipe for cookies that helps increase lactation. It’s a great excuse to curl up with your baby and a plate of cookies. Breastfeeding is hard work so it’s nice to get some free goodies for it.

Especially when you are nursing a toddler! It is often called the Nursing Olympics, the special brand of nursing when your toddler is hanging over your shoulder, upside down, while trying to eat cookies and pulling your hair. Every mom still nursing her older child knows all about that phase. They are too big to be happy staying still but too little to understand why mommy needs them to stop trying to run through the house with your nipple in their mouth. Ouch!

Though one of the perks is getting to watch your toddler mimic you in cute ways. I have pictures of both of my sons as toddler nursing their baby dolls.  Though their baby dolls never gave them the fun of trying to nursing a child doing loops in their lap.

As my youngest is going on 2 (in six days) and still breastfeeding daily I’m happy to be mostly past the squirming and flipping phase. He still has his moments of thinking he needs to nurse while laying across my back and leaned over my shoulder. I don’t know how long this is going to last, right now as long as he wants, but as long as there are some fun freebies I’m still game.
