A late footnote to this conversation... I am exclusively b/fing bub #2 - no solids, demand fed, no pacifier, latches on at least 3 times per night, co-sleeping, and menstruation returned last week at 4mos, 29 days. Same feeding/sleeping scenario with #1 and menstruation occurred when he was 5 months old. I was hoping we'd go a little longer 2nd time around!
Both boys on the 90th percentile for weight also, so have been pumping out the milk up to this age. Does anyone know how the return of menstruation affects milk supply - I have heard/read conflicting reports. My eldest's weight started coming down the percentiles after menstruation returned - and he continued to feed o/night beyond 10 months. wondered if he was needing solids, or if due to milk supply diminished with return of other hormonal influences. Wondering what might happen this time. Jo -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics. Visit <http://www.acegraphics.com.au> to subscribe or unsubscribe.
