Dear Lacnet:
I have been working with a mother who exclusively breast fed her 13
month old son until he started solids at 11 months of age (He never
showed an interest in solids until then). Mom's cycle returned at 6
months postpartum and remained "normal for her" until her son was 9
months old.
Since 9 months her bleeding is very heavy with cramping and clots;
experiences nausea and vomiting 4 days before cycle begins with episodes
of increased hunger and thirst. She is not pregnant but would like to
be.
Any thoughts on the sudden changes in her monthly cycles? Any
thoughts/ideas on how to treat this mom with herbals etc.?

PS: Any ideas on when the July 1999 IBCLC results will be posted?
