3 Reasons Our Toddler Stays On The Breast


"Didn't she just get off the boob, I mean geesh!" I was at book club and one of my non-mom friends wondered why our child kept latching on. Of course I laughed. Here are three reasons our toddler stays on the breast.

1. For Comfort

Especially if we are in unfamiliar spaces I can tell when our daughter is nervous, anxious or scared. Some children carry blankets, stuffed animals, or suck their thumbs. For our children - they nurse.

2. For Sleep

When tired, our 2 year old likes to pacify. In this situation, she is not drinking, just soothing herself to sleep.
