Monica of The Shopping Mama shares her struggles trying to breastfeed a baby with severe reflux. This is something I hadnt considered having a baby who had problems nursing because Emma had no trouble from the get-go. But Im so glad Monica shares her story because I know shes not alone, and many frustrated moms have tried to breastfeed and given up for reasons like these. And it helps others to understand that its not easy for every mom!

At The Eco Chic, Callie talks about weaning her little girl from breastfeeding at age 2, and how different it was from weaning a child at age 1.
