Happy 2nd birthday to my daughter Olivia and happy nursiversary to us! It was always my goal to nurse her at least until she turned two, we made it, and we're still going strong! Having a goal to reach, a support network to lean on, a supportive family, and identifying myself as a breastfeeding mom made my goal easily attainable. Of course it helped that she has had an insatiable appetite since the moment she was born! Happy birthday Olivia and nurse on my love, I will never be a weaner! #happybirthday #extendedbreastfeeding #bestforbabes #luckybaby #ilovebreastfeeding

This is a great reminder for anyone planning a New Year's resolution! Mom's have more influence over their daughters body image than media and peers. There should be a no comment policy about your daughters weight, your weight, and even other peoples weight. Rather than focusing on weight and body image, parents can model healthy behaviors such as eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly. Your son can be just as influenced by negative body image comments as your daughter, whether it is about himself or other women. Teach your children to love the skin they're in! #newyears #stopbodyshaming #beconfident #behealthy #raisestronggirls #raisegoodmen

This is such a beautiful candid shot, another one of my favorites. What breastfeeding mom can't relate to this? That look of either pure relief after too many hours apart or that amazing oxytocin release! #MondayMuse #breastfeeding #oxytocin

Self suctioning breast pump, circa 1880. I've never seen this, could you imagine how exhausted you would be? #tbt #breastpump

This was one of the first baby bottle methods introduced in the 19th century. The plastic tubing was very difficult to clean and was a bacteria breeding ground. Only 2 out of ten infants made it to their second birthday because of these bottles! It earned the nickname "Murder Bottles". #tbt #bottlefeeding

Photography in the 19th century wasn't something taken lightly. It wasn't inexpensive and people wore their Sunday best knowing their photos would last a very long time. Imagine how proud these mothers felt to be breastfeeding their child that they wanted to document it! This is isn't much different from the breastfeeding selfies today...I wonder if it was as controversial as it is now? #tbt #brelfie
