My two cents on LAM & LA. I am currently tandem nursing my two daughters,
2 yrs 3 mos & almost 4 mos. My periods returned at 10 mos. pp w/my first
& I ovulated the next cycle. In fact, I believe I may have been pregnant &
miscarried after my second cycle (I had morning sickness etc. but didn't
get around to testing before my period came). I conceived my second
daughter 14 mos. pp. With my first I co-slept, nursed on cue, wore her in
the sling almost constantly, was physically present for virtually all of
her naps (can you say high needs baby?!), & encouraged as much skin to skin
as I could. We did have a nightlight in our room.
At the time I was eating lots of flax (seed in my homemade bread & oil in
my yogurt). I attended a session on Herbs In The Childbearing Women & the
CNM presenting mentioned that flax seed was a great fertility enhancer. I
exclaimed "So that's why I am pregnant!"
I had irregular periods all my life & going six mos without menstruating
was not unheard of. I had to use chinese herbs to get pregnant with first.
I have a friend who is an LA savant & we discovered that in ourselves &
others the addition of flax (Omega 3 EFAs presumably the causal agent)
provided remarkably clear fertility signs even while breastfeeding (where
the signals are sometimes difficult to read).
Any other experience out there with Omega 3s & LAM/LA while BFing?
