Let’s be honest…

Extended breastfeeding for toddlers builds super strong immune systems and during a pandemic in my opinion it’s insane to wean. Knowing that my children can get antibodies from my breast milk that they would not get otherwise makes this pandemic just a little less scary. As of right now as I am writing this blog my husband and I are really sick and think that we may have COVID-19 again. We always wear our masks and use hand sanitizer wash hands and try to prevent being too close to people when we are out and about but due to certain rules and regulations about childhood mask wearing some parents are just plain clueless. My two-year-old even wears a mask but we were exposed to a child in a karate class who did not wear a mask and whose mother decided that it was OK to bring her child to a karate class with a bad cough and no mask??!!! causing everyone to get sick but guess what?! Our two children are the only two children who did not get sick! I believe it’s because of the antibodies that we built up the first time that we had COVID-19 that they got from the breastmilk and it kept them safe since there are no vaccines available for children at this time. Don’t be afraid to do what’s best for you and your family! don’t listen to other people that say you should wean or your child is too old. that is between you and your child. only you and your child should decide when to give up breast-feeding whenever it’s most comfortable for the mother and child or children.
