Ramblings & Musings

Breastfeeding & Fertility

9/2/2019

There's a lot of information available on how breastfeeding can act as birth control in the early postpartum weeks and months. But, what about parents who are ready to get pregnant again, but still have a nursling? For these parents, the delay in return of fertility can be frustrating...but, they may also struggle with the idea of weaning their little one. But, it doesn't always have to be one or the other. There are strategies that can help bring on the return of ovulation without completely weaning. Lots of great info on this in the book below...

"Adventures in Tandem Nursing: Breastfeeding During Pregnancy and Beyond" by Hilary Flowers.

Other parents may feel that the time is right to say good-bye to nursing. For these parents, we offer support and information on how they can create a weaning process that is gentle on their bodies and their hearts. There are lots of different tips and tricks available!

Let us know if you have any questions! And, if you've successfully nursed through pregnancy, tandem nursed, or weaned your kiddo, we'd love to hear about your experience!
