Navigating Breastfeeding Around Older Siblings: My Honest Reflections

When I first became a mom of two, I wondered how my older child would react to seeing me breastfeed their new sibling. Would it be awkward? Would they feel left out? But as the days went by, I realized that breastfeeding in front of my older child actually opened up beautiful conversations about nurturing, love, and the way our bodies care for each other. It felt natural and even comforting to share this part of motherhood openly. My older child became curious, sometimes asking questions, and I welcomed those moments as chances to teach empathy and understanding. Every family is different, but for us, this transparency has brought us closer. How have you handled breastfeeding around your older kids?
