Past Questions



Coconut Sweet Potato Pie

This creamy dessert is full of beta carotene. The wheat-free crust provides omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.

To be brief, my marriage is coming to an end. Several days ago an attorney friend came over to discuss what we will encounter regarding several issues my husband has with me parenting, including the fact that our three (and a quarter) year old son still breastfeeds and that if he awakens at night and I go to comfort him, I often end up cosleeping. The attorney stated that the court would advise me that this "behavior" must end; I call it attachment parenting and think it is a positive connection. Have you encountered this issue and dealt with the courts? Do you have any advice or resources for me to access?

My daughter, who has breastfed for the past almost three years, is now living with her father. I'm hoping from custody mediation to start having supervised visits once a week. It seems that breastfeeding during past visits has reassured her of my presence and our bond plus rekindled her confidence. She seemed happier and more comfortable with leaving the visit to go back to her father, than one time I decided not to nurse her. She also seemed more present and grounded, and less traumatized. However, there are others who have suggested it may be harder on her to nurse only one day a week, and not all the rest of the time. What do you think?
