Around four months (or anywhere between three and six months!), just when you thought it was going smoothly, babies can seem to change again - becoming more fussy, sleeping differently, and often being more distractible when nursing. Our article looks at what might be going on and how to cope when the 'four month fussies' hit!

5 C’s of why I’m still breastfeeding my two year old
and why your opinion ranks last

Calories
Breastmilk still provides real energy and nutrition. It is not symbolic. It is not pointless. It is food.

Calcium and nutrients
Protein. Vitamins. Minerals. Immune support.
The benefits do not expire at 12 months just because society gets uncomfortable.

Comfort
A regulated nervous system. Safety. Connection.
Comfort is a biological need, not a bad habit.

Connection
Breastfeeding is communication. Co regulation. Attachment.
That bond does not suddenly lose value because a child had a birthday.

Choice
My body. My child. My informed decision.
Your opinion weighs less than the science, the benefits, and my child’s needs.

✨ Breastfeeding past two is normal.
✨ Nutritious.
✨ Regulating.
✨ Protective.

And I will choose all of that over outside noise every single time. 🤱
