It Won't Always Be Like This....

Today I had the opportunity to interview Celeste Kraft, an experienced breastfeeding momma of four, and now grandma who supports her own daughter-in-love, as she calls her. Celeste shares with me her own unexpected breastfeeding journey, how her journey has influenced the support she offers her daughter, and shares her best piece of advice she has for new breastfeeding moms. And WOW what she had to say was so powerful. Her words of wisdom gave me chills! Click below to take a listen to the interview, and hear what she has to say. Be sure to check out the pictures she shared with us as well!

I got the answer to that question I mentioned during the interview...the woman whose children were grown when I was having my first, and who would only tell me she nursed "a long time" whenever I asked her how long she nursed? This was her reply:

Oh, my. So sweet of you to message me 😎💕
I was not ashamed but some people, especially first-time moms would be put off by someone saying they nursed a 4 1/2 year old. Of course by that age it was only at bedtime or if he was awake in the night or hurt. But you beat me! I remember thinking he might go to kindergarten still nursing. And if I tell people that he can remember nursing they are often appalled, but what a sweet, comforting memory.

You made my day! So nice to know that what I said and did made a difference for a young mom. Thank you! I now have 7 grandchildren and all were nursed...

You are one wise lady to listen to your heart and do what you knew was right for you and your baby in a culture that teaches us to separate from our babies

Again, thank you!
