I'm still nursing my 15 mo fairly frequently, although my supply had already started to drop during my fertility treatment, and has continued to do so. He sometimes signs "milk-all done" to me now after a few minutes of nursing, which...

Hi all! I'm C., and I'm mama to a 15mo little boy, born in December 2010. I found out last week we are expecting #2 on December 6th, exactly as I'd planned and hoped. I love December babies. LO is still nursing frequently at this time....

Again, thank you all so much. Your responses have been so encouraging. Especially because I've been really disappointed to not have received a call back from any of the *four* LLL LCs I've called! (I know, holidays, but...

Thank you everyone, so much. It is so great to have this community. I've been crying all night. This is just so frustrating, and now painful too, since my milk is in but not going anywhere! I pulled out the pump for the first time and...

This is driving me crazy. My milk is definitely in now, it's leaking from at least one breast.   Jasper has latched successfully about three times since Friday. Each time he got in a good 45 minute session. He has had plenty...
