#breastfeeding
There is no magical age when breastmilk stops being of nutritional value.
The World Health Organisation recommends breastfeeding for two years and beyond, and doesn’t give an upper age limit.

When I was in the car about to feed Lilah as soon as I pulled out the boob she got so happy she started laughing and that was her first real laugh :)
SQUEEE!! Baby laughs are pretty much the best. How lovely to have that as such a clear memory for you <3

There were lots, but I think the funniest was when my (then) 2 year-old paused long enough to look up at me an say “mmmm! Chinese food!”
That’s incredibly freakin adorable!
I think sometimes, people are so confronted by the idea of a child who can talk breastfeeding, that they look right past how adorable and heart warming it can be. So many lovely moments when children can express why they love breastfeeding, and what it means to them. And really, who doesn’t love chinese food?

Tired Of Staged Breastfeeding Photos, I Started Shooting It In All Its Beautiful Messiness
‘I was tired of seeing unrealistic photographs of women breastfeeding, so I took a photo of myself breastfeeding my baby, posted it on Facebook, and asked if other women would like to be photographed in the same way. I was inundated with responses, and so the project began!
In the media, I feel there is a distinct lack of authenticity in images of women breastfeeding. Most photos are highly stylized, airbrushed and unrealistic; many are sheer fantasy. Whether it is the angelic mother in her clinical white perfection or some model on the front of a fashion magazine. I’m tired of images that fail to show the realities of breastfeeding for most women.
This project is about portraying breastfeeding in all its beautiful messiness. This is about tired eyes and no makeup. This is about milk leaks and ratty hair. This is about giving in to all the demands of your 2-year-old while you try to feed your newborn. This is about dishes piled up in the kitchen and dirty laundry building in the corner. This is about puke on your shoulder and toys on the floor. This is about let down milk sprays in cafes and engorged breasts at the park.This is about empowering women.
This is about the amazing thing that only we, the women humans of this earth, can do; sustain another humans life with our own.’

Now I know why we never run out of milk in the office…
Breastfeeding May Help Prevent Cognitive Decline
While the positive impact of breastfeeding on babies is well known, little is known about the positive benefits for the mother. A new study reveals women who breastfed their children performed better on cognitive tests at age 50 than those who fed their children with an alternative method.

I dreaded buying maternity/ nursing clothing when I was pregnant with Luna. Everything I came across wasn’t appealing. So, I refused to buy anything! The few items I did buy for breastfeeding I hated them. The clothing either fit awkwardly on my body or they weren’t actually breastfeeding friendly. Then came Momzelle and completely changed the game! Momzelle is a Montreal-based breastfeeding…
