Carnival of Tandem Nursing

As my husband and I ponder and discuss having another child, we often wonder if Burkley will wean himself before a new baby comes onto the scene. In my curiosity of what moms thought of their tandem nursing experiences, I put together this carnival where fellow bloggers could share their thoughts on the subject. I do not have an entry for the carnival, but encourage to check out all of the wonderful, honest entries!



Welcome to the Carnival of Tandem Nursing
This post was written for inclusion in the Carnival of Tandem Nursing hosted by Mommying My Way. Our participants have shared their personal stories of the highs the lows and information on what to expect if tandeming is in your future. Please read to the end of each post to find a list of links to the other carnival participants.
