Am I the Breastfeeding Queen...

This is the topic that I actually get a lot of buzz about, and my most talked about topic on my blog. 

Why because I am still nursing my 16 month old. (1 year ago) I stopped tandem nursing my now 4 years old daughter and my now 2 years old son. 

And anyone who knows me know that I was and continue to be very motivated and head-strong about breastfeeding. I've breastfed all 5 of my biological children for at least a years and a half to 3 years of age. I do not forcefully ween them but it's like we both just know when we're done. 

There are so many benefits, I mean if more women were educated about breastfeeding then more women would do it.

Benefits of breastfeeding include:

• Promotes a healthy bond between mother and child
• Helps fight breast cancer
• Helps your uterus snap back in shape (thus allowing your body to get rid of some unwanted weight
• It carries all of the proteins and vitamins, and pro-biotics that helps keep your child healthy
• It has yet to be duplicated (cannot duplicate the best, that's why now they have breast milk donations) and honestly Cow milk is for Heifers.
• etc.

 Look it up, do your own research, do not take my word for it I am educated on breastfeeding.

Any who, I loved breastfeeding, and would do it forever but even the best of the best need a break.

It was kind of hard to stop with my oldest and when I did and my milk dried up my little Lee Lee said "Mommy lets go get milk out of the fridge." She made me laugh and it was hard explaining that it would not be that easy but she's coming around. However, right before I started weening her I did start feeling weird because she was tall for her to be 2 (she looked like a 3-4 year old) and she would be hanging off of my lap while she was breastfeeding so I think it was getting uncomfortable for the both of us. Just stop when you are ready do not let anyone pressure you to stop. The longer the better... I wanted to breastfeed her until she was like 4 but can you say WEIRD really loud. I did and realized that it was time.

She even use to say "mommy, may I have Tetas," and I just have to remind her that she is a big girl and that tetas are for babies.

Now all my children still love it and have never been a fan of cow milk. When they're sick besides elderberry they get a shot of breast milk, if nose is stuffy I get a medicine dropper and put a little milk in helps loosen up the mucous. 

There are many benefits plus I heard pro athletes have been buying it up to boost their performance. 

So please just remember All kids are Precious and breastfeeding is the best way! (I did not say the only way)
