*Disclosure: I received a complimentary product for the purpose of this review.

The mommy wars are always going on, and one of those things not everybody understands, is breastfeeding past the age of 12 months. For us, it was pretty simple.

Breastfeeding while baby is sick
When baby gets sick, one of the first questions many moms ask is, “Should I continue breastfeeding?” The answer is absolutely!
