Dear Wise Ones,
 
I have a question for you all, I have looked in my "Mothering  your Nursing 
Toddler", "Motherly Art" book, and in some textbooks...all to no  avail.  My 16 
mos old has been teething horribly (darned molars  anyway)  When she teeths 
she almost wants nothing by mouth solid food wise,  and takes little liquid 
from a cup...what she does do is nurse, nurse, and oh  yes she nurses.  I thought 
she just wanted me to be her own personal  teething ring (because she gnaws 
on my nipples and they are more sore than I  want to describe), apparently, 
however, I was her only nutrition source too,  because (and this is where my 
question comes in) her bowel movements have  reverted back to early 
infancy...yellow, seedy, little to no odor.  Is this  ok?  I could find nothing about a 
toddler having these types of  movements.  I admit, it is a bit nice not changing 
smelly diapers, but I am  concerned that she needs more intake than this.  
Have you heard of such a  thing?  I know my milk is 100% nutritious for her, and 
I am just blessed  that I can support her this way...I guess it is just a 
little mommy doubt I am  having.  It is so hard to find information on 
breastfeeding toddlers, so I  thought I would ask you fine friends.
 
Thanks in advance
