- Excellent practical advice and support for older nurslings
This podcast is gold for a variety of breastfeeding topics. I have found particular value in the stories of mothers who have breastfed during pregnancy, tandem fed, and/or breastfed a child into the toddler or preschool years. Listening to the practicalities of what this can look like was incredibly helpful for me as navigated that stage myself. Emma’s discussions with parents span almost any breastfeeding challenge, offering support for just about any situation. I highly recommend this podcast ... more

Apple Podcasts5UA_LRodUnited States8 months ago - I have learned so much
I find it so reassuring listening to this podcast. I am breastfeeding a 4 year-old, something that I did not plan for. Emma‘s insights and advice have emboldened me in my decision to continue breastfeeding. I would love an episode about breastfeeding older children, if you don‘t already have one!

But when it comes to raising a baby and breastfeeding amongst family and groups of friends that do not have little children but many opinions about it, it can be hard sometimes, lonely and bring doubts.
Listening to you helps gain reassurance et realizing again and again why I’m still breastfeeding my... more
