Terriann I think we would all agree that 33 is not too old. I am assuming you are getting this info from either the mom or her doc, so it is kinda third hand, and you are right to question it. My guess would be (a) mom does not want to bf or (b) the doc does not want her to bf or (c) someone misunderstood the info. Let us know if you find out differently. P.S. I lactated just fine in my early 40's so maybe I'm biased? Laurie Wheeler, RN, MN, IBCLC Violet Louisiana, s.e.
