Susie Prout - Breastfeeding Older Kids

Breastfeeding a newborn – normal. But breastfeeding a toddler, is that normal? Yes, in fact the World Health Organisation recommends breastfeeding to 2 and beyond. So why don’t we see it and talk about it more? Today I speak with IBCLC Susie Prout about the practicalities of breastfeeding older kids.

We talk about if breastfeeding older children affects their emotional dependence and some tips on weaning, for when the time is right. To find out more about Susie, check out the show notes
