Dear All, While we are on the subject of older moms, I live and work in a culture where I see many mothers a day on child number 10, 11, 12. Obviously these mothers are also older, but usually between 35-45. It is so frustrating to try to help these moms. The usual situation is someone who has nursed all her kids without problems, successfully, and all of the sudden they have a baby who is just not gaining, while they are still doing the same management of BF. It breaks my heart to see it, and these moms are usually too busy for the "put your all into it, nurse around the clock, pump, etc" advise. They cringe as they have to supplement. I usually don't have much to tell them. Are there any studies I am not aware of regardings advanced births such as these? I think this might be more of a factor than the age. Any suggestions what to tell them?
