I have a question from a Leader:

The mother (M) of a nursing 3 year old girl (G) says she can predict her
own cycles from her daughter's behavior.  M says she's made a conscious
effort to control her own behavior, lest that be influencing G, but it
still happens.  "For example:  G's dad will tet her up in the morining, and
she will behave in a totally uncharacteristic fashion.  This will occur
shortly before the onset of M's period.  M has said that living with G is
like living with two different children, depending on the time of month."

The Leader wants to know if anyone else have heard of this.  M doesn't want
to stop bf'ing, but worries that she might be harming her daughter.  I have
no info on frequency of nursing, nights, solids.
