Hi Pat,
 
I'm referring to the duration of breastfeeding.  The study the Washington
Post is reporting on shows that parents spend several thousand more hours
with the first child than they spend with the younger siblings.  I am trying
to make the point they they also spend more time nursing the first one as
well.  I think I remember that firstborns get nursed longer, but I can't
find the reference.  Any suggestions?

Are you referring to how long baby BF or to how much milk mom makes?
