This is such a great post about co-sleeping with your baby and nursing through the night! I felt the same as she did with my first. I NEVER wanted him in bed with me. It was unsafe or I'd "spoil" him. My second was not a good sleeper and him sleeping with me was one of the only ways we both slept. But it was much struggle and fighting trying to make him sleep in the crib first for lengths of exhausting time trying to fight bringing him into our bed. Now with my third, she was born at home and has slept with me since day one and is now 9 months old and I don't see her getting in her own bed for the night anytime soon! Go with your gut mamas! :-)

Bed-sharing has been the most rewarding part of parenting. I was told countless times that it was dangerous and finally decided to do the research myself.

Most of us mamas would be doing the same thing. I know I would. 💗

For some moms, breast milk is their only feeding option and that is how their baby is fed. This couldn't have been more true in a photo that was taken by a Volunteer Rescue Group in Thailand

Absolutely amazing science. I love it!

Breastmilk is a living thing. To say that it doesn't matter whether or not our babies receive these living stem cells through breastmilk (because "fed is best") then people are missing one of the very important reasons breastfeeding does in fact matter...alot.

Breastfeeding and caring for a baby at night can be one of the most challenging aspects of being a new parent.

02/27/2016

Breastfeeding is the biological norm. Breastmilk is uniquely suited for a human baby and discoveries are still being made about the way it interacts with an infant to give it optimal development. For thousands of years women gave birth and nursed their babies, supported by a close-knit group of fa…

Witty comebacks if you're ever harassed when nursing in public! LOL 😊

I have had a love/hate relationship with public breastfeeding. I love being able to breastfeed my infant son, but I hate that nursing in public still has a stigma attached. I have nursed all over Columbia in the past three months since having my second child … stores, parks, restaurants, you name a…

I'm not sure if we've shared this one before but it's good to know the myths surrounding breastfeeding!

A lot of people including my husband scold me for nursing my son while I'm upset or right after I had a good scare, they say that my milk goes bad because of my emotions and they could make my baby get brain damage ( I know I roll my eyes too). What Chan I say to them to back up my thoughts about th…

I've heard too often about dentists saying breast milk could negatively affect a baby's teeth...that's false!

Don't freak out new mamas! It's normal 😊

Your body knows what to do!!

I think this is beautiful. Breastfeeding to natural term. Not "still breastfeeding". And to echo KellyMom...avoid the comments section on the article itself 😜

The series is called, "We are not 'still' nursing, we are just nursing"

Love this! You can't spoil a baby 😊
