20: Breastfeeding A Sick Toddler (Why, How & What to do when they're well again)
Manage episode 365903653 series 3437187
Immune system support is something we think about when we're talking about breastfeeding newborns, but did you know that the immune support in your breastmilk increases when your child reaches toddlerhood?
You might think that breastfeeding your toddler is a helpful way to comfort them when they are sick, but the reality is that even a few drops of your breastmilk is providing sooo much more than comfort.
In this week's episode, I share with you:
-Some mindblowing reasons why you may want to breastfeed your toddler through their next illness
-Practical ways to make breastfeeding a sick toddler easier (including some of my tried & true mom-hacks)
-How to navigate moving back into a routine once your little one is well again.
