Toni, I had a post menopausal mother (had bf her own grown children) who ended up adopting the baby of a friend of her daughter (mom in early-mid 50s) who felt that familiar tingle when she was snuggling with the baby....called to find out if she could harm the baby by putting him to the breast...munchkin took off like he'd been waiting for it all his life (who knows) and only had very small amounts of abm from that moment on. What a wonderful experience for them both! Mom couldn't even talk about it without choking up....I think of that couple on "bad" bf days.
