Advice please:  I was seeing a healthy 9 mo old whos' young mother had
planned to bf for at least a year.  She described how her periods came
at 3 mo age and with each period her milk seemed to diminish.  she knwe
becsuse she was pumping also for use while she worked.  After her 3rd
period her milk just didn't replentish, the baby was irritable dispite
frequent feedings, and she weaned.  Now her WIC dietician (a mother of a
4 month old) is experiencing the same thing.  I've never heard of it.
any suggestions?
