E30: Long-Term Breastfeeding My 3.5-year-old On Demand

In this episode I share about my experiences with breastfeeding my child on demand for the past 3.5 years. I share about long-term, ie natural term or full-term breastfeeding, why I choose it, and my philosophies around breastfeeding in general. I answer the questions I have received from listeners including:

What is your overall breastfeeding philosophy?
How many times a day and night do you nurse?
Do you still produce as much breastmilk? How much milk does Ilya consume?
How long is the longest amount of time you’ve gone without nursing?
Do you pump your breastmilk?
How do you handle aversion? Do you ever feel touched out?
Has breastfeeding lowered your libido?
Do your nipples hurt sometimes?
Do you eat a lot more while breastfeeding?
Do you notice any challenges with breastfeeding and cycle tracking?
Do you and Ilya have boundaries around breastfeeding? If so, what do they look like?
Do you deal with any judgment or dirty looks, for instance when feeding in public?

Welcome to Parenting our Children and Re-Parenting Ourselves. I am your host, Brittany Taylor and it is a joy to be here with you. I am a coach, specializing in relationships- our relationships with ourselves, our partners, our children, and beyond. I coach beings who are ready to step into the more full version of themselves they have been calling forth. I support pregnant mamas and families, partnerships, and individuals. Reach out to me for an initial session  or to to see if we are a good fit for my dedicated 12-week coaching program.

This podcast is alive thanks to the incredible journey I have experienced parenting my now 3-year-old child, while simultaneously immersed in the deep work of healing and developing within my own internal system. It is my belief that our children offer us the portal to the growth we have been asking for, on an individual and collective level. The intention of this podcast is to offer insight into topics and themes that can help us evolve in harmony alongside our children, with unconditional love and support for us all.

In season 2 of this podcast we are diving into topics related to attachment parenting, holistic, heart-led parenting, unconditional love, re-parenting ourselves, healing trauma bonds, and aiming to support ourselves re-emerging as full, integrated beings, while supporting our children in maintaining this same integrity within themselves and connection to their own system and intuitive knowing.

Season 1 of this podcast took you along my journey of an autonomous, non-medical pregnancy and Freebirth, with a glimpse into our postpartum life.
