Today, we continue our look back at a year of tips and nips (see what I did there?) from the Adventures in Breastfeeding team!
Monday, Laura covered the most common questions we hear from moms at the beginning of their breastfeeding journeys, so now it's time to talk about what comes after that! Maybe you're still in the newborn phase and wondering what to expect as your nursling grows, or maybe you're a seasoned pro looking for advice on extended breastfeeding. Either way, we have plenty of great answers and personal stories for you fabulous mamas!
I'm going back to work soon and I'm so nervous! Will I still be able to breastfeed?
I've got a handle on breastfeeding and would really like to rejoin normal society. What can I wear? What can I eat? Can I finally have a beer? Am I EVER going to drop this baby weight?!
I've decided to nurse beyond a year, but I don't know anyone else who's breastfed for that long. What's it like?
What a wonderful thing to do for your child! Though it may not seem like it, you're in great company! Important things to consider if you're going to practice extended (or "biological") breastfeeding are: how to
tell the difference between weaning and a nursing strike, knowing the
facts so you can answer the skeptics,
setting boundaries with an increasingly communicative and independent toddler, and whether to
tandem nurse if another baby is on the way!
Everyone seems to have an opinion about my decision to breastfeed or nurse in public. I feel so alone sometimes....
Phew! We've had a busy year with all these boobs and babies! And we have even bigger plans for next year! From the bottoms of our hearts, thank you so much for your interest, support, and incredible feedback! Please stay tuned this month for lots of fresh topics, giveaways, and more exciting changes!

Excellent post, Missy! We sure have some amazing mamas that have contributed to this blog over the past year. Lots of great resources for anyone looking for information on breastfeeding.
