La Leche League:
Extended Breastfeeding
The La Leche League has collected 22 inspiring stories of
mothers' experiences with breastfeeding beyond the first year. The
stories have been reprinted from New Beginnings, the
bimonthly publication for LLL members, with the exception of
Elizabeth Baldwin's essay "So I Nursed Him Every 45
Minutes," which was reprinted from Mothering (and
which also appears here). 50 links to related selections from the New
Beginnings "Toddler Tips" column are also listed.
The stories and tips cover many aspects of nursing beyond the
first year: advantages to mother and child, handling criticism,
preventing burnout, dealing with sibling concerns, fertility
questions and more. This is an especially handy section for
mothers who face criticism from well-meaning but misinformed
relatives, as well as for first-time mothers who have questions
about nursing a toddler.
We highly recommend this resource, and thank the La Leche
League for making such inspiring and supportive information
available on the Internet.
