A mom who has had great difficult getting pregnant with her first child, went
through infertility treatments, finally carried a baby to term, is now still
bfeeding that child at age three.  She has desperately wanted a second child
and has been through extensive infertility treatments this time as well.  She
gets pregnant, but then miscarries, as has just happened for the third time
since her first child was born.  She is resistant to weaning as she feels she has
a very close relationship with her child and fears she may never have another
one, so why wean abruptly, ending this nursing relationship if it may be her
only.  She did take supplemental progesterone through this last seven week
pregnancy.  I know that most things I have read over the years do not link
breastfeeding with miscarriage, but in this case, do any of you feel that it might
be?  No gynecological problems have been found in this woman and it all seems
to remain a mystery.  Clearly, she struggled before she had this child and was
not breastfeeding then... Any thoughts?  Thanks, Ann Conlon-Smith IBCLC, LLLL
