I think it’s FANTASTIC that Ezra’s already learning about sharing with his brother. I would think that tandem nursing will help them bond. And KellyMom is such a handy site.
Elissa is now back up to the 50th centile (where she was when she was born) having dropped to the 2nd centile for a while and I was told that I would have to give up breast feeding and switch to formula, even give her prescription formula! I ignored this advice and continued to breastfeed and it all came good. I was so upset being given that advice and I couldn’t even figure out why I was so upset by it. I guess the maternal instinct kicking in?
I have been grateful for the legal position in Scotland that you have the right to breastfeed in public places. It is an offence to ask someone to stop breastfeeding. Still, it is interesting to observe the reactions that you get I was amazed at how uninhibited I was about breastfeeding.

My mom nursed my youngest brother and sister for several years each.
