I'd see if you can get your prolactin level checked. If your LO is 2 1/2, it's probably normal, and nursing isn't interfering at all. The only thing that might alter that would be if you're still doing a lot of night nursing. They do...

  I don't know that there are any "direct connections" between maternal age and complications. Everything I've read says, placental insufficiency due to gestational diabetes, etc. I don't know that many studies have been done on...

Congratulations! I'm 43 and 31 weeks, due in July. It took me 16 cycles to conceive while breastfeeding my daughter, whom I conceived at 40. My opinion is that the m/c risk is the biggest one, BUT I don't mean I think it's  a...

Yup, this is us, too. Our 2 1/2 year old DD is in our bed all night long, and has never slept apart from me for a minute. We're just going to wing it and hope for the best. We will attempt using an Arm's Reach co-sleeper for the new...

Hi, I'm 43, and this is my 3rd. I had my first at 21, my second at 41, and I'll be 43 when this little one arrives (26 wks now). I have to say, I feel better than I felt with my first and second pregnancies, because I worked 80...

I have given birth to 2 vegetarians, the first during my own veg days, so at least I felt like I knew what I was doing....My second, DD (28 months) from the beginning would eat fruit,vegetables, whole grains. Protein has been an...

Hi! My DD is 28 months, and I"m 25 weeks pregnant. From everything I've read, if the doctor hasn't told you not to have sex, then bfing should be ok. However, I'm an err-on-the side-of caution type of girl, and when I started having...

My DD is 28 months old, and very similar, in that she only would fall asleep nursing. I really didn't see how it could work... I first tried the Pantley routine. Basically, you remove the nipple earlier and earlier until they learn to...

I lost my (um, DD's) naptime at around 18 months. It was a rough couple of weeks, with a cranky toddler, but we got through and got much more/better sleep at night, and in fact, I think she was sleeping more over-all without her nap....

Hello all, I'm a long-time lurker. I'm 43, DD is 27 months and still nursing, although we have cut back to 3-4 time times a day and not at night. We ttc'd for 16 cycles before getting a bfp. I'm now 22 weeks, due in July, and the...
