She is  also wondering if there are other 'more natural' things to treat 
the symptoms  (like gels or something) because she feels like this low 
estrogen is her  body's way response to bfing/birth and she doesn't want to lessen 
that; she  just needs help with the discomfort.


~~~Hi all,
I don't know if this is considered "natural" but it's not a compromiser of  
milk supply. _Vaginal  Atrophy – Atrophic Vaginitis – Instantly 
Re-moisturize with Yes_ 
(http://www.yesyesyes.org/Vaginal_Atrophy1.htm?gclid=CKDvp8r7kKMCFSFN5QodtE66mw)  I googled AV  and got that. Personally, back when I 
started perimenopause and was miserable  and it was so painful I had to ride my 
bicycle standing, someone recommended  Astroglide.  I think I can safely say 
this saved my sanity ( such as  it is at this point...:) It might be 
helpful for this mom if she's just  looking for local symptomatic relief during 
the time she needs it. ( This other  organic product was not available then.) 
By the way, this was natural life  timing perimenopause, and not  natural 
post-partum hormone shift  timing, but I think the result was similar and 
hopefully the solution too.
 
Hope that helps,
Peace, 
Judy
