Moms, no judgement here but for how long did you breast feed your newborns? How long do you think is it okay?

Almost 4 years šŸ˜…šŸ˜‚ but I think however much time you breastfeed is amazing! Any amount of breastmilk is beneficial!

Going on 10 months EBF, will let my son wean whenever he’s ready. Probably not 100% until sometime in the toddler years.
It’s great and beneficial as long as the child wants it. Which on average worldwide is between 3-5 (as old as 7) years old.
WHO recommends minimum of 2 years.

Breastfed for 3 years and it was the best time of my life

13 months. I would have kept going but I found out I was pregnant and my son was doing exceptionally well at self weaning. He loved table food a little too much. šŸ˜‚

OP go for as long as you like. 3 months is amazing! And don’t let anyone tell you different.

I think it's ok to bf as long as you want to. I did till I got pregnant with my second. My baby was 2.5 years old.

Don’t understand: how long does you think it is ok?!?

First 6m are most important, milk only, preferably bf. Then starting solids for fun until 1 with milk as main source, Then bf until 2 and up aside of meals

I’ve been feeling so down. I don’t really have anyone to talk to about certain stuff but I’ve just been feeling so depressed lately. Idk what it is. I don’t even want to brush my hair or teeth. None of my pre pregnancy clothes fit I’m almost 5 months postpartum. I’m the biggest I’ve ever been in my whole life 😭 I feel like my bd ruined my life. Not because I have his baby. But because he completely changed after I got pregnant and was cheating on me my whole pregnancy. He put me in a fucked up situation and I can’t get past it. Is it normal to get ppd months later? I haven’t felt this way until just recently. 🫠 I’m just so drained I have no energy to cook or clean. I only shower because me and my baby shower together or I would probably shower every couple of days. 😪 I don’t even feel pretty or recognize myself when I look in the mirror…

My sons doctor said we can use melatonin, is she right?

Last time I questioned about melatonin and a lot of mommies said no to it. My son doesnt have a legit sleep schedule yet. Its hectic. I cant stay up until 430am anymore. I give him melatonin and hes out 30 min after I give it to him for the rest of the night. He also likes taking late nights because hes in school from 1 to 4...what would you suggest?

How much is your 3 year old boy speaking

Hi ladies. My little boy is a little over 3. He speaks in 3-4/5 word phrases. His vocab is varied. Saying the things he needs. Recently we ran into several girls a little older than him and their speech is far more advanced. His cousin is 6 months younger and her speech is also much more advanced.

Starting to wonder if he should be speaking more? The little girls even made fun of him for not speaking as much as them…just unreal.

Anyways would love some thoughts
