Ep.122 Nursing Through Toddlerhood & Tandem Breastfeeding

Aly & Emily discuss their breastfeeding journeys, which varied greatly among the four kids. We discuss tandem nursing, pumping, nursing aversion, and the phrase "fed is best". One thing we forgot to bring up when recording this episode was breastfeeding & Lyme: Lyme CAN be transferred through breastmilk! This is something to be aware of if you're in the family planning stage of life. However, Aly's LLMD has discussed this extensively with her and said he believes the benefits of breastfeeding far outweigh the risks, so nursing should be continued as long as possible regardless of potential Lyme transfer. Aly believes her Lyme disease was likely passed through the placentas during the kids' pregnancies. The transfer rate through the placenta is much higher than through breastmilk. Happy nursing, friends! Check out our Instagram for sweet photos of our nursing journeys <3
