For the last month I've received several questions about breastfeeding topics and even though this has nothing to do with homeschooling it has everything to do with homeschooling - it's how we nurture our children and I'm so grateful for these questions! Christina and I discuss the return of fertility postpartum and if early weaning is necessary to have another baby if our cycle has not returned, how to deal with a nursing toddler and a newborn and what to do if our husband is not supportive of child-led weaning or co-sleeping.
