I am a long time lurker who has learned so much from this listserve. I rarely

practice, and I have mom's permission to post. I see mostly newborns and  
less older babies, though I really enjoy them, too. One little 7 month old came 
to see me with his mom last week. Both mom and baby were rather frantic at 
her sudden acute drop in milk production, as he's not interested in solids yet. I 
found out that mom was under serious stress prior to the loss of milk supply 
and made a number of specific recommendations to increase her supply.

They returned today a much happier nursing couple. Mom's supply is steadily 
increasing and the little guy learned a new skill. When he finishes nursing, he 
claps!  Talk about validating!
