Regarding the mom who experiences intensly negative physical sensations while nursing, I'd like to second the possibility that this could strictly be a hormonal/brain chemistry issue. I'm not discounting the possibility that there is some sort of trigger/body memory here, but certainly the physical side needs to be checked out before anything as drastic as weaning occurs. ;-) -- Beth Johnson Perinatal Educator, Doula Springfield, MA USA "The most powerful weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed."
