You see, while many people are supportive of extended breastfeeding, others are not.

Some toddlers may nurse erratically throughout the day — once in the morning when they wake, a quick nurse during mid-day and, perhaps, nursing to sleep. Some toddlers may go through frequent night wakings to nurse, not because they are hungry, but more for assurance that mama is around.

Calcium-rich foods like milk, tofu, cheese, yoghurt, soybeans, sardines, turnips and enriched bread and grainsOmega-3 fatty acids from salmon, fish supplements, nuts and seedsThere are also certain foods to avoid during nursing, especially if your toddler reacts to them, including alcohol and seafood.
