<< Dear Lactnetters,

 I received a call from the mother of a 14-month old this morning. She is
 having health problems and has been to five different doctors who have told
 her her health is being compromised because she is still breastfeeding her
 baby. They have told her to wean and she does not want to.

 Her baby nurses 6 times a day, sometimes as long as two hours at night. This
 in addition to solids. The baby is in excellent health. After she nurses she
 feels dizzy, fatigued, and has trouble with her memory. I think she would
 benefit from talking with a lactation consultant who is also a physician or
 nurse practitioner. This is beyond my comfort level for advising her. I
 suspect there is a women's health issue here that is totally unrelated to
 breastfeeding. (Has anyone ever heard of such a problem related to
 breastfeeding?? I suspect NOT!)

 I am hoping that someone who is an MD or nurse practitioner with good
 familiarity with women's health issues will be willing to call this mother
in
 Utah. If so, please email me privately, as I am NOMAIL. Write to me at:
 <[log in to unmask]> and I can give you her phone number. Please respond
 ASAP. She is very worried.

 Thank you!
 Judi Lauwers
