This week at Kolari’s Corner on InfoMommy, Jennifer Kolari answers a question from a reader who is having trouble weaning her 17-month-old son from breastfeeding.

Jennifer advises gradually cutting back on daytime feedings and leaving the nighttime feeding for last. She emphasizes that it’s important to give extra snuggles and comfort but not to give in no matter how much he cries. Giving in rewards the crying and will only make your child unhappier because he will cry more to get what he wants.

This week at Kolari’s Corner on InfoMommy, Jennifer Kolari answers a question from a pregnant reader who is anxious about breastfeeding her twins.

Jennifer advises nursing moms to eat well, stay hydrated, and get lots of rest. Ask for and accept help to reduce stress. Pump so others can also feed the babies. Be patient – it takes a while to get the hang of nursing two babies at once. Finally, take the time to connect with your babies by smiling and cooing at them in turn. Connecting with your babies this way will reduce both yours and your babies’ stress.
