Anna,
        I'm really sorry if you thought I was "accusing' you of not offering
your breast enough. That was not my intent. Unfortunately that is the risk that
we take whenever we discuss breastfeeding issues; we can't get away from the
personal experiences, feelings and values that surround us.  My intent was only
to point out that, for those who don't want their children to suck fingers
and want to find a way to prevent or cure it, this might be a way.  It is
only through discussion that ideas can germinate into solutions, or not.
        To attempt to further the discussion,  my letdown was also quite
strong, but perhaps to a different degree, so I nursed on one side very
frequently (I don't think my bra was ever done up in the first year!(Why did
I bother wearing one!) for long periods (I have heard of women who nurse on
one side during the day and the other side at night without any adverse
effects).  All of my babies ended up quite rotund, shall we say, (20 lbs at
3 months) but stayed at that weight until about a year and are average
weight as school age kids.  Maybe my conclusion is self evident but worthy
of note.
