Maybe I would state it as "signs of pulsatile oxyticin release with
suckling (as seen in the hospital) are : sleepiness, thirst, and
uterine cramping and gushing." MER does not really seem to be happening -
or is not noticeable. I´ve been asking moms in a Fb community: only those
who are tandem breastfeeding (as you said, Lisa) report feeling MER during
the colostrum phase. The rest did not.
Interesting!!
