This is a question came to me from a friend of mine.
M- is perhaps in her mid-forties.
S- turned 2 in December (a high need baby who taught these great parents a
lot).  (First child is about 7.5, also nursed for several years.)

>...Lately M- has started to wean S- and has had some problems.
> She's asked me to ask you about hot flashes.  Do you know of
> a relationship between hot flashes and nursing?  As M- started
> cutting back on nursing, she experienced hot flashes.  The

I tried searching the archives, and I found discussions of hot flashes with
MER and other similar discussions, but none related to hot flashes at
weaning.  I realize she might be experiencing early symptoms of menopause,
but is there any connection with her weaning?

TIA,
Susan
