MamaNatural.com I’m a huge extended breastfeeding advocate, and plan on nursing Griffin as long as he wants to. When he was first born, I found so many awesome books and online resources about breastfeeding. I learned about the proper latch, the appropriate amounts and times to nurse (any and all times!), the best breastfeeding positions, etc. Griff and I sailed through nicely for the first 8 months because, up to that point, he really wasn’t eating a ton of solids. Once he did start incorporating food, he dropped his afternoon feeding. Like any first time mom, I started wondering… “was this OK?” I then started looking for books and online sources to learn more about the process of weaning. I didn’t find much… What I did find was vague and theoretical… I wanted a plan! Unlike the 8-12 feedings in 24 hour period guideline for newborns, all I saw were general statements like “the baby and you will figure it out.” So, I stumbled through the weaning process, and will continue to, by talking to other moms, a lactation consultant and my Bradley teacher. What I’ve learned along the way is trust yourself and trust your baby. The baby will lead the way The weaning process certainly isn’t linear There’s no set plan or program. All we can do is share our experience. We need to talk more about this so that we aren’t alone through. By 13 months, Griffin went down to one nap a day, and dropped another feeding. At this point, he had just three feedings during the day; however he …

www.superfoodhealthyliving.com www.superfoodhealthyliving.com Do you already have a baby? Or are you just planning to have one? If yes, then there are certain things that you need to know. The first is how to make him healthy, and how to keep him away from germs and dirt. If you can only buy lab coat so that you can be the one to assist your child all the time, you will do that. But you cannot do that. For your part, you can just give your child a hundred percent of love and healthy foods, but not to attend to him 24 hours, 7 days a week, most especially if you have work. Juices are also good but only in a very small amount. Too much sweetness is not good for babies. So, from the time that the doctors in lab jackets already released you from confinement after delivery, you must then proceed with breastfeeding. If your milk is almost as clear as water, then stop breastfeeding.

So it now continues here: I Know My Baby Is Getting Enough But He’s Latched On For Hours!: Babies need to breastfeed for more than just food. The act of breastfeeding, which they’ve practised in the womb by swallowing amiotic fluid, comforts and sustains a breastfeeding baby. It is a primal urge, that fills them with a sense of well being and security. Babies come out of the womb as individuals. Some will have very high sucking needs – they need to be on the breast, comfort sucking, for long periods of time. Deprived of this, they can become fussy and anxious and cry a lot. They often crave lots of skin to skin with the mother, and wearing them in a sling or wrap can help calm them. Others come out with low comfort sucking needs, and will only attach to the breast for as long as it takes for them to fill up. Both these scenarios are perfectly normal. Your baby will have its own sense of how much time it needs at the breast. Mothers who have had several …
