Have you ever worried that boundaries around breastfeeding might be wrong or inappropriate?
It can feel like you are caught between 2 worlds:
- One where sleep training is the norm, and breastfeeding beyond 6 or 12 months is said to be "more for the mom than the baby"
- And another where "surrendering" to your child's needs is the ONLY way to parent, and refusing a feed for any reason is inherently problematic.
But what if there is a third option?
In this bonus episode, I sit down with my friend and colleague, Samantha Radford to talk about this nuanced subject with grace, humility, and humor.
