In the spirit of sharing information so each mom can decide what is best for her, here is information on whether it makes a difference (in this case physically healthwise) if the milk comes from nursing at the breast, or in a cup or bottle. Milk is great either way! Check out the links on the side for Sleep Apnea, and Total Health http://www.brianpalmerdds.com/ Great article.

I too tandem nurse my 3 1/2 year old son and 5 month old daughter. Watching them interact while nursing is heartwarming and a memory I will carry with me always. He absolutely adores here and jealousy has never been an issue between them. I attribute it at least in part to this.

To address comment #6--the woman who has a problem with an older child nursing: One of the benefits that a child of any age misses from simply receiving breastmilk in a cup is the benefit of human touch and skin-to-skin contact. Many people seem to think that breasts are sexual objects, but in human history they were designed to nurse babies and were not viewed as sexual objects until much later. I've seen nursing soothe my intense toddler too many times to want to give up the human touch and closeness that works so well for us. Thanks for the great and informative article.

You are an inspiration to women like myself who would love to continue breastfeeding beyond the 'accepted' one year mark, and who would love to be able to tandem feed if and when I have a second baby. I would love to know how you found breastfeeding during your pregnancy? My son is 7 months old now, and my period still hasn't returned, so I am just hoping that that will happen before my partner and I start trying for another baby. I'm wondering if I will need to reduce the number of feeds I'm doing for this to happen... Are you able to tell us how often you were breastfeeding during your pregnancy? Thanks again for a wonderful interview, and best of luck with your two beautiful babies! Thank you Kelly for being so open and honest about your breastfeeding experience.

He can get the same benefits from the breast milk if she puts it in a cup. The kids don't get the benefits from sucking on the breast they get it from the milk itself. I breastfed my daughter until she turned 1 1/2 years old and then started putting it in a cup and she got the same benefits.
