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 breastfeeding mom, a lot of what impacts your current stage of weaning is where you are emotionally, as well as your current nursling's milk demands.

Burnt out? You may be in Stage 3: Ready for Breastfeeding Boundaries.

Down to that one special session a day? You may be in Stage 4: Ready to Wean, but you may still need the support to get to the finish line.

Just hit a year and not ready to wean? Learn what to expect in Stage 1 how to make toddler nursing manageable for you.

Each stage brings different and new challenges and rewards, but skipping any may actually make the weaning process harder on you and your child.

If you haven't yet taken the quiz, or if you took it a while ago and feel you are in a new phase of the journey and want a second look, you can check it out HERE.

Beyond being a valuable resource for you, I wanted to share about the quiz today because my guest on the pod this week helped me make it!

On the Pod

When decided to create a quiz, I knew Chanti Zak was the go-to person in the online world to help.

What I didn't expect in our first meeting was to discover that she was a fellow extended nursing mom to multiple children!

Add on that she also lives on a farm in Canada and milks her own cow, and you bet I reached out to hear more about her story.

I'm forever grateful for her help and personal feedback as a toddler nursing mom to help me bring you a resource to make your breastfeeding journey a more enjoyable experience.

You can listen to the episode now on Apple - HERE​

And on Spotify - HERE​

I need your help!

I am honored to have five 5 start Apple reviews of the show! But having more will help our audience grow. After listening to this week's episode would you go here and leave a review?

Thank you!!
