August is Breastfeeding Awareness Month

My son self weaned at 3 years and 5 months. Our breastfeeding journey was transformative and an experience I will never forget. I co-sleep, baby wear, breastfeed and practice gentle parenting. This is not the easiest path comparatively but there are lot of companies out there to help you along the journey. Some of things I never learned about included pumping, cutting bras, nursing pads and all about clogs and a myriad of issues and experiences.  Check out the list below and I wish you well on this very special bonding portion of newborn, infant and babyhood.
