R. Tarfon ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Hello all! A young primip called to ask how to wean her thriving 3 month old. She has had vaginal spotting which her OB thinks is related to breastfeeding. I haven't heard of this. Can anyone enlighten me? Is this the old "blame breastfeeding for the otherwise unexplained" scenario or is there a known relationship? If so, what is the mechanism and what are this mother's alternatves? Continued spotting is not acceptable. It means total abstinence. I am not on Lactnet right now so please Email me privately if you think you can shed some light on this mess.
