Love this. Year 2 is so different than month 1!

Look 👀 at this amazing graph which shows every recorded breastfeed for 14 months.

In the early days of breastfeeding it can feel like that’s all you’re doing, and it’s supported by the many dots (feeds) we see in the early months of this baby’s life, but look how the feeds spread out as the baby gets older.

You can see how the pattern changed again as the baby started to eat more solid food alongside breastfeeding, and then how shecontinued having a morning and evening breastfeed for many months after that too.

This is a fabulous visual to show what happens over the course of one breastfeeding journey. (Of course, not everyone’s will look like this)

Thank you so much to Lizzy for giving me permission to share this.

*edited to say, please be kind! This is just ONE feeding journey of ONE dyad. Every feeding journey looks different, and each journey is beautiful in its own right. It can be normal for some babies to decrease the number of feeds as they get older, and it’s fine to follow their lead if all else is well. However other babies will continue frequent feeds day and night and this is fine too! If you’re ever in doubt, or would like some reassurance/support please reach out.*

Another formula recall! If you are keeping the can for a refund, please label it as unsafe for feeding so it doesn’t get used on accident!

'Still Breastfeeding?????' 🤔

The World Health Organization & UNICEF recommend that children are breastfed for at least two years.

Research shows that human milk is a valuable source of nutrition and that toddlers who are breastfed have fewer illnesses and get better sooner than those who are not.

In the second year of a child's life, 448 mL of breastmilk provides:

29% of energy requirements
43% of protein requirements
36% of calcium requirements
75% of vitamin A requirements
76% of folate requirements
94% of vitamin B12 requirements
60% of vitamin C requirements
(Dewey 2001)

Yes! We're still breastfeeding. 🤱🏼
