You Can Keep Breastfeeding.

Written By Cheyenne Townley

You might get the side eyes or rude comments but bottom line, you can keep breastfeeding!

We need to do our part in changing social norms by recognizing that breastfeeding has benefits well past the first year.

Beyond being the only nutrition your baby needs for a least 6 months, you and your baby will reap the benefits of nursing for YEARS to come.

Getting your little one to sleep faster, protection from sickness, and comfort for sad kiddos were my favorite reasons to continue my breastfeeding journey. What are yours?
