Nursing your Toddler
The benefits of breastfeeding your toddler are no different than they are for younger children. Some of the reasons mothers decide to continue breastfeeding their toddlers are:
- Breast milk continues to be a wonderful source of nutrition regardless of anything else your child eats
- Antibodies in your milk continue to protect your toddler, even if nursing once a day
- Breastfeeding is comforting to your child
- Your toddler’s nursing time may be the only snuggle time you get with your ever busier child when they are awake.
- Breast milk is tolerated by sick children unable to stomach other foods.
