Really?

In my breastfeeding support group, I think it is not uncommon for the last born to get the most milk--no pregnancy induced weaning along with the mother's knowledge that this is the last one...I also get phone calls from women saying, "I only breastfed for a week with my first baby and then 3 months with my second, but this one I'm determined to nurse at least a year." But those are the women seeking breastfeeding help or attending breastfeeding support groups...
