[...] mother’s milk supply to regulate. When a mother experiences oversupply, the baby can take in too much low-calorie, lactose-rich foremilk and not enough high-calorie, fat-rich hindmilk. That can lead to fussiness, gassiness, low weight gain and/or green, watery stools. A mother can [...]

[...] Overall I found the recommendations to be right on. I particularly liked the discussion of how to help your older child feel included, and how colostrum changes into mature milk and mature milk consists of foremilk and hindmilk (see my article on “Amazing Ever-Changing Breast Milk” for more on those concepts). I’m glad the video stresses that a feeding can take up to an hour, although I didn’t like the statement that a woman should nurse for at least 15 minutes on each side in order to make sure the baby gets enough hindmilk.

Heather, that’s wonderful that your nursing relationship is going so well and that you’ve found the inspiration to continue (thanks for leaving a comment to let me know!) You might enjoy reading more information about toddler nursing which can be found by clicking on the “toddler nursing” and “extended breastfeeding” categories in the sidebar on the right side of the page.

Thank you! My daughter is now turning 14mos and I have decided to continue until “whenever”. My husband has been so sceptical, and many others unsupportive… thankfully I have stood firm for my daughter’s sake, as well as my own! Neither one of us are ready to stop, and now, more than ever, I am determined to keep going as long as we can, especially until she turns 2!!! You have also waylaid some of my own uncertainties about supply and consistancy of my milk! Thank you again!!! Too bad I didn’t have this info when my son was nursing, we only lasted 4mos ): And what a difference I see in my two children!!!
Thanks again!!!
