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
