This may seem a little crazy in our culture, but it’s true!

This has been found through studies comparing biological normal weaning for humans compared to other mammals. And in many other parts of the world this is very much true and common.

Many global and national health organizations have recommendations to breastfeed for AT LEAST two years. 🤱🏼

Remember that weaning usually is a very slow process and you can breastfeed for as long as you and your baby are happy to breastfeed!

All the incredible benefits continue. 💪🏼

So no more closet nursing your toddlers people!! 💕

Some studies have found that breastfeeding parents got more total sleep than parents who mixed- or exclusively formula-fed their infants. 🍼

Exclusively breastfeeding parents also might have an easier and faster time falling asleep because of a hormonal release of prolactin while breastfeeding which helps to induce sleep. 😴

Share with a friend that might think that formula feeding is the answer to more sleep!

“Is this normal!?” -said every new parent ever 😳

Studies show that one of the most common reasons for weaning or unnecessary supplementation is perceived low milk supply. Many families feel this way because of infant behaviors such as crying. 😩

Lactation consultants can help families understand what infants are trying to communicate, what is normal, and what are signs of low milk supply.

Have you ever asked this question?
