[Newsletter] Are you making these common bedtime nursing mistakes?


The Weekly Dispatch

Topics from this week

Hi Reader,

This weekend I had a realization: I tend to focus on the hardest parts of toddler nursing and weaning in my content. This is because I often lean into the educational stuff or the things you really need to triage as a nursing mom.

But there's something so much more fun to talk about...

How amazing life is post-weaning!

So that's what I talked about yesterday in my stories (if you jump on now, it may still be up!)

If you tune in you'll see all the big and small ways life changes for the better based on feedback from followers and former clients who have weaned successfully and are on the other side.

And don't worry, if you missed it, I'm planning to do a whole podcast episode on it next month.


Speaking of the podcast, Ep. 7 - 3 Common Bedtime Mistakes Toddler Breastfeeding Moms Make (and how to fix them) is out now!

In this solo show, I start the conversation around bedtime struggles that nursing moms have when they are trying to change the breastfeeding routine.

Have you ever had dad try to do bedtime only to have to jump in 2 hours later because your toddler was still up and screaming, "I want mama!!!"

Then this episode is for you.

And of course, I also discuss tips on how to tweak your strategy to get better results (aka, so your kiddo doesn't lose their mind).

The Weekly Dispatch Topics from this week Hi Reader, Over the years of helping extended nursing moms, I've found themes and patterns that helped distinguish the needs of a client and how close they actually are to that final nursing session. These patterns led me to create my Extended Breastfeeding Quiz as a free resource to help guide moms struggling to figure out when and how to wean. The 5 categories are not linear, although time nursing is a factor. Similar to the emotional cycle of the...

The Weekly Dispatch Topics from this week Hey Reader, I hope this email finds you sipping on your fall beverage of choice, listening to your favorite autumn playlist, and enjoying this time before cold season really sets in. The past couple weeks, I noticed a trend in my IG feed - a lot of gentle parenting bashing. First, was this article from Motherly. Then @thedailytay crept into my feed with back to back reels humorously critiquing our generation's most popular parenting trend. And one got...

The Weekly Dispatch Topics from this week Hi Reader, This weekend we took the train up the CA coast to Santa Barbara to visit family. They live in a very small town called Los Olivos, which basically has a two block main street that is mostly wine tasting restaurants. Scott's aunt and uncle are now in their 60s and successfully raised 3 boys while both working. So of course I was curious; how did they do it? And the answer was clear: they had a village. You see, in spite of the town being so...
