<< She latched on
within 1/2 an hour and nursed so well. Her brother is still a nursling so I
had copious amounts of colostrum just waiting for her. She was gulping it
down. She nursed three times for twenty minutes a time before crashing off
to sleep for the first time (three hours) after she was born. >>
makes me think of early postpartum teenage moms: i have learned to stand out
of the way when teaching them hand expression because there will most likely
be a nice squirt of milk across the bed (unlike *some*, not all, older
primips who needs much massage and hand expression to get a dinky little drop
out).
and if women would continue bf ~2-3 yrs, and through the next pregnancy (like
Patricia), what with all that copious quantities of easy flowing milk and
well hydrated babies, ..........well, there's always real estate sales i
guess.
