Mothering Your Nursing Toddler, by Norma Jane Bumgarner

Each mother-baby pair begins an intimate and personal journey, with that first suckle.  Having good information and resources, along with loving support from family and friends can make an enormous difference for many women.  In the United States, less than 20% of babies are still breastfeeding on their first birthday.  However, the World Health Organization recommends that our children continue to breastfeed a minimum of two years. 


I have extensive experience assisting women with problems they may encounter while breastfeeding.  You CAN nurse your baby, and your baby and your body are designed perfectly for breastfeeding.
