This week on the podcast we talk about the “taboo” subject of nursing older babies. Despite recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the World Health Organization, mothers are still having to defend their choice to nurse older babies. We chat about why nursing older babies is normal and the benefits that nursing past infancy provide.
