Breastfeeding, Breastfeeding Past Infancy, Feeding With Love, Wordless Wednesday
This week we asked: What does breastfeeding look like?
From Lyn: “My children are 21 months apart. I was worried about how my son would react to his little sister having his milk. This photo is proof that he was more than happy to share.”
From Natalia: “My son is 3,5 months now and we have been combining nursing with so many activities from the very beginning! Nursing in a baby carrier is practical and cute.”

From Mama Mo: “After getting my premature twin boys, Gus and Jack, transitioned
from taking my pumped milk from a bottle to nursing at the breast, I
took this picture to commemorate the achievement.”
Mama Mo blogs at Attached at the Nip.
From Karen: “Taken days after our little girl, Ruby, was born (bum first at home!). Ruby weighed all of 2.5kg (5.66lb)…but she had a fierce little suck and once she latched there was no looking back! My milk was in within about 24hrs. My boobs were about 3 times the size of her head for ages!!”
Nursing a toddler can be a different sort of adventure! Lauren with Mikko in a drive-by nursing at 2 years old.

From Sara: “I’m sad that this is really the only nursing photo that I have… I need to take more. I remember when I asked my husband to take the picture he was confused as to why I’d want a picture of me nursing my daughter. Well, duh — it’s because I want to cherish the moment!”
Sara blogs at Halfway Crunchy.
I think we all need the reminder to take more nursing photos! Don’t be shy about asking. 🙂
Tell us: What does breastfeeding look like for you?

I’ve been thinking the same thing — that I really need to remember to keep snapping pictures. Thanks, everyone, for sharing your photos!
All of the piccies are just beautiful! We should all have loads of pics taking of us breastfeeding, it’s so precious :o)
Warmest wishes for xmas and 2011 to you all x
these are fantastic pictures! Thanks for stopping by and linking up! Have a great Christmas.
Beautiful photos! Such precious moments. Thanks for sharing!
All amazing photos! The twins are so cute! The brother and sister picture made me smile, the drive-by nursing too.
So many great shots. I don’t have many photos nursing The Dudes because it was such a special and private time for us. I loved that it was a way to escape for the baby and I to just be together and we usually made everyone else leave us alone! Yes, I was pretty baby feeding stingy and #1 never even took a bottle from anyone EVER. I was that into it. Had to loosen the reigns a bit when the other two came along, but I still liked to make it mostly just about baby and me.
I only lasted a month with a little one, but I wished I hang in there. It is a great gift of love to your child.
