Erin Harris is a virtual lactation educator, creator of Nursing Mamas, and a veteran nursing mom of 4 ½ years. She is also the host of the podcast, Weaning It: A Podcast for Toddler Nursing Moms. She combines her two Master's Degrees in Health and Family communication, lactation knowledge, and personal nursing experience to focus on the parent-toddler nursing relationship. Through online courses and consults she helps extended breastfeeding parents set breastfeeding boundaries and wean gently so they can keep the bond without the burnout.
In this conversation, the Erins discuss the challenges and experiences of extended breastfeeding. Erin Harris shares her personal journey of breastfeeding her two children and the impact it had on her relationship, work, and identity as a feminist. They also touch on the societal pressures and judgments surrounding breastfeeding, the importance of choice and individual experiences, and the need for support and understanding for all mothers and parents, regardless of their feeding choices.
