About my presentation

I was very happy to have a telephone conversation about one of my favorite subjects: breastfeeding! I was even happier to shed some light on the more culturally unique subtopics of long-term breastfeeding (also called extended breastfeeding, full-term breastfeeding, or breastfeeding past infancy) and tandem breastfeeding (nursing more than one child at a time, though not necessarily simultaneously).

• I discuss five years of breastfeeding Mikko, including his gentle weaning, and two and a half years (so far) of breastfeeding Alrik.
• I talk very honestly about my own experiences, challenging as they were, with breastfeeding through pregnancy and tandeming.
• I give pragmatic advice about how to encourage a mutually respectful and beneficial breastfeeding relationship with toddlers on up.
• I'm able to point to some of the research and resources available about the effects and benefits of long-term breastfeeding.
• I touch on topics such as
  
  • health benefits to the mother,
  • the safety of breastfeeding through pregnancy,
  • legal ramifications of breastfeeding older children,
  • anthropological and historical evidence of long-term breastfeeding,
  • and more!

So join me over at the Healthy Child Summit today — I look forward to hearing what you think!
