E33: End of Breastfeeding Ilya at 4-Years-Old - Long Term Breastfeeding - Weaning

A few days before Ilya's 4th birthday, our breastfeeding journey together came to a close. It has been a month since and in today's podcast, I reflect on that transition, including a transition to stop nursing together at night (we co-sleep), and then a couple months later to stop nursing together entirely. I share about why I chose to make these shifts, what inspired them, how weaning has felt for me, and how I sense no longer "doing boob" has felt for Ilya.

Welcome to Parenting our Children and Re-Parenting Ourselves. I am your host, Brittany Taylor and it is a joy to be here with you. I am a coach, specializing in relationships- our relationships with ourselves, our partners, our children, and beyond. I coach beings who are ready to step into the more full version of themselves they have been calling forth. I support pregnant mamas and families, partnerships, and individuals. Reach out to me for an initial session or to to see if we are a good fit for my dedicated 12-week coaching program. This podcast is alive thanks to the incredible journey I have experienced parenting my almost 4-year-old child, while simultaneously immersed in the deep work of healing and developing within my own internal system. It is my belief that our children offer us the portal to the growth we have been asking for, on an individual and collective level. The intention of this podcast is to offer insight into topics and themes that can help us evolve in harmony alongside our children, with unconditional love and support for us all.
In season 2 of this podcast we are diving into topics related to attachment parenting, holistic, heart-led parenting, unconditional love, re-parenting ourselves, healing trauma bonds, and aiming to support ourselves re-emerging as full, integrated beings, while supporting our children in maintaining this same integrity within themselves and connection to their own system and intuitive knowing.
Season 1 of this podcast took you along my journey of an autonomous, non-medical pregnancy and Freebirth, with a glimpse into our postpartum life.
