I made some milk-boosting oatmeal chocolate chip cookies last round. Now, I have another round milk boosters: Banana-Buttermilk Lassi and Banana-Bread Smoothie. I'm so over the moon! :D
I'm on my way to arrive at the 2-year mark of breastfeeding my son. Any ounce of breast milk counts. At this age, my breast milk is actively providing the much-needed antibodies for my toddler.
You might be wondering, "When is he gonna wean off?" To this question, my answer is, "He will wean off when the time comes. There will be no trauma, no tantrum, no tears. It's gonna be bittersweet. I know, he knows when. No hurry."
