Anne,

Although this may be hard to bring up to parents it really works like a charm!
As my babies got older and started sleeping a bit longer at nights, I would
often wake up with breast infections.  Because they were older, I had a
difficult time getting them to nurse often to drain the breasts as much as
possible so it became my husband's job!  He really didn't mind the idea except
when he was tired and simply wanted to get some sleep.  Well this sort of
reminds me of the pregnant times (especially in the last trimester for me)
when I am so tired that love making is the last thing on my mind and sometimes
I too have to comply and say OK!

See ya,

Yvonne
