[blparent] Breast-feeding help, it must be passed down

[Erin Rumer]

Sabrina,

I am so happy to hear that you want to continue giving your daughter breast
milk.  It is essential for her health and go well beyond a year if you can
because breast milk has amazing properties for toddlers just as much as it
does for infants.  It's amazing how our milk changes to meet our baby's
needs as they get older.  Breast feeding is extremely helpful for your body
as well.

Erin

Hey Eric,
Well, I don't want to necessarily stop nursing, I was just concerned because
Cheyenne seemed like she doesn't want to nurse anymore.  However, when I
give her my milk in a bottle she eats it just fine.
It might also have to do with her heart condition I mentioned yesterday.
She still does have a small hole in her heart that they weren't able to
patch up when they did open heart surgery.  There are times she latches on
just fine, but other times when she doesn't.  Most of the time though when
she does nurse she falls asleep.
Hope I explained this better.  I'm just glad that I still produce milk, and
like someone said before as long as I pump I will keep producing it.
I've also read its better to breast feed till a baby is a year old anyway.
Sabrina

Hi, I agree with both Jo Elizabeth and with Erin.  Erin kind of took the
words out of my mouth, but I have to ask this, and another question:  Why do
you want to stop breast-feeding?  Why do you feel she can't nurse anymore?
When she gets older, she will want to learn from you.
