Ep 294: What Extended Breastfeeding Really Looks Like - A Real Talk Guide with Erin Harris


Listen Later

What if you're not ready to stop breastfeeding but you're burned out from the constant demands? Or maybe you’re thinking of breastfeeding beyond the baby stage? In this episode I'm talking with Erin Harris, a certified lactation educator and the creator of Nursing Mamas, about the very real and rarely discussed world of extended breastfeeding.

I am so excited to talk about this topic because I’ve never talked about it before and honestly, I haven’t really heard that much about it, and I suspect the listeners will feel the same. If you’re nursing past that first year, or thinking about it, this episode is a must listen!

In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:
  • What extended breastfeeding actually means
  • How Erin’s personal journey led her to supporting others
  • How to recognize breastfeeding burnout
  • What the four emotional stages of extended nursing look like
  • How to tell when it’s time to wean — for you or your toddler
  • What the real benefits and challenges of toddler nursing are
  • Why boundaries are essential for extended nursing
  • How toddler nursing compares to infant nursing
  • What it’s like to breastfeed a baby and a toddler at the same time
