(Why Gentle Toddler Weaning Advice Usually Fails 👇)


Let me guess... Everything you've tried hasn't worked.
The conventional advice treats breastfeeding like a bad habit to break. But toddler breastfeeding is a tool that's meeting real needs—yours AND your child's. When you try to eliminate the tool without understanding those underlying needs, of course it doesn't work.

Worse? You end up in what I call The Toddler Breastfeeding Stress Spiral—where your stress triggers your child to nurse more, which triggers more stress, which triggers more nursing... and round and round you go.

the toddler breastfeeding stress sprial: "mom is afraid child is  too needy" -> "child wants to breastfeed" -> "mom unconsciously pulls away" -> "child pulls on shirt to feed" -> "rinse and repeat"

In early 2019, I was punching my headboard at 2 AM.

My almost-2-year-old's latch felt like razorblades. I was newly pregnant. And I was supposed to be a lactation counselor who "had it all figured out."
Instead, I was terrified I was ruining my daughter's attachment. Terrified of what people would think. And absolutely done feeling like my body wasn't my own.

One day after a 45-minute grocery store meltdown, I sat in the car thinking: "I can't do this with a newborn too."

That's when I realized: everything I'd been told about how to wean a toddler from breastfeeding wasn't just wrong—it was making things worse.
I threw away the conventional advice and tuned back into myself. What I discovered changed everything—not just for my family, but for the hundreds of moms I've worked with since.

I went on to tandem feed for over 3 years while feeling like my body and time were my own. My youngest weaned at six on his timeline, without pressure, and without me feeling touched out or burnt out.


Your breastfeeding journey doesn't have to feel this hard.

How does the private podcast work?

After you sign up, you'll get a link in your email to the private podcast feed that works with any podcast app.   You can listen whenever and wherever you want, at whatever pace you want.

Will this tell me I have to keep breastfeeding even though I'm miserable?

No.  YOU get to choose what is right for you and your child.  I'll offer you support to get clarity and cultivate confidence to choose the right path for you.  Then I'll give you the tools to get to the end of that path with a deeper relationship with your child than you had at the beginning (even if you have fully weaned).

I'm worried about what my partner/family thinks about me still breastfeeding. Can this help?

Yes—Episode 2 addresses exactly this. I'll give you specific language to use and help you understand why their opinions are affecting you so much. More importantly, you'll get clear on YOUR values so you can make decisions from confidence instead of defensiveness.

I don't want to fully wean, I just want breastfeeding to feel manageable. 
Is this for me?

Absolutely. This series isn't about forcing weaning. It's about helping you feel like yourself again, whether that means setting breastfeeding boundaries, night weaning, gradually reducing feeds, or eventually fully weaning. YOU decide what's right for your family.

My child is 3/4/5 years old, is it too late?

Not at all. I've worked with moms nursing preschoolers and beyond. The 3 C's framework works at any age because it's based on understanding needs and nervous system regulation, not arbitrary age cutoffs. If you're still breastfeeding and want to make changes, this is for you. 

Is this just a sales pitch pretending to be free help?

Nope. I promise the entire 4-part series is sales-pitch free and jam-packed with supportive information, validation, and tools to make meaningful changes. I have a short "next steps" episode separate from the 4 main episodes that covers a few options for working with me if you would like, as well as other free resources I have available.

Just let me know where to send the link to your free private podcast, audio workshop series.
