I have had 2 babes now with Melanie Sumersille CNM who delivers at Winthrop (Garden City OB/Gyn).  I adore her and her partner OB, Seth Plancher.  My first was an unmedicated vaginal birth which ended with a very tricky...

Hello.  I am currently working/pumping for a 9 month old who also eats lots of solids (approx. 3 x/day).  Typically during the day I leave about 10 ozs and she nurses 4 additional times during that 24 hour period.  Like...
