I wish I had waited now so I could have BF longer. But there was no way to have known how long TTC 2 would take. 1.75 years and counting.Peevemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15380650452145936082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6193753530280373065.post-67474835627127229872008-07-17T03:01:00.000-07:002008-07-17T03:01:00.000-07:00A wonderful book that I can't live without is "Med...A wonderful book that I can't live without is "Medications and Mother's Milk" by Jack Hale, PhD. His specialty is lactation pharmacology (hope I got that right); he teaches at a medical school. It will not give you tips on breastfeeding, but it will tell you what is safe to take, what is not, and suggest alternatives.<BR/><BR/>Both you and your doctor(s) will appreciate the way it is written. It's kind of expensive ($30 or so for a paperback), but it will help you win an argument with your doctor about whether you have to wean or not. It certainly helped me win an argument with my RE, who was dead set against my going forward with a medicated cycle while nursing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6193753530280373065.post-14958473426015952142008-07-17T00:32:00.000-07:002008-07-17T00:32:00.000-07:00I'm curious to hear how the elimination communicat...I'm curious to hear how the elimination communication goes for you guys... it is something I've been interested in, but then you know the whole getting pregnant and calmly breathing through hotflashes sort of distracted me a bit and took priority in my mind:)Smilinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251527394755383001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6193753530280373065.post-80320395470247887782008-07-16T18:58:00.000-07:002008-07-16T18:58:00.000-07:00ugh I just posted and it disappeared into the ethe...ugh I just posted and it disappeared into the ether. UGH.<BR/><BR/>anyway, I'm surprised with the "no bottles or sippies" even at the toddler age... by then, BF'ing is plenty well established that they're not going to be confused. Ben had bottles from 1 month on, and he BF til 16 1/2 months, and I'm the one that stopped it, not him. He also had sippy cups! :)<BR/><BR/>And I have a friend who's PG with her second and "nursing" her first (19 months) even though she has no milk now. SHe's hoping to keep going til the new baby comes so she can tandem nurse. Weird to me that the baby still wants to even though there's no payoff of milk!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02649134501359603572noreply@blogger.com
