Read about how this mom of three nursed her youngest while homeschooling her other children.
November 30, 1999
I am a Christian mom of three children, Christina, age 7; Ryan, age 6;
Isaiah, age 5 months. I am a stay-at-home mom and homeschool my two older
children. My husband and I have been married for 8 years. I am
breastfeeding Isaiah exclusively until he is 6 months old, first of all,
because I know that is the best thing you can do, and also because it is
something I can do to help protect my child from the allergies and asthma
that runs in my husband's and my families. I plan to nurse Isaiah until
he weans himself, even if I get pregnant again before he does. My
husband and I would like a large family.
