Dr. Jack, I'm extremely interested in your comments regarding women who
experience a sudden drop in milk production at about 3-4 mos. pp.
Lactnetters, what is WITH this? I have spoken to at least three women
recently, one of whom is my neighbor and who is expecting her fourth child
in March, who report that their milk "suddenly went away" when their babies
were anywhere from 4 - 8 months of age. I queried them all about
supplementing, frequency of nursing, etc., etc., and everything they said
gave absolutely no indication that this decrease/cessation was warranted.
No supplements, nursing often, at times more than "often."

I so want my neighbor to nurse her fourth and final child for the one year
period that she also is hoping for.  I'm stymied, as usual. So what's the
story? Anyone?


Cheers
