[blparent] Nursing and not sleeping through the night.

[Angie Matney]

Every baby is different. Jacob started sleeping through the night
before we stopped nursing. Unfortunately, we had to stop because I had
chronic low supply issues. I tried everything to maintain my supply,
including using a medication to aid with lactation. But it had some
unfortunate physical and emotional side effects. so we stopped nursing
a little while back. I'm off on a tangent, sorry. Just wantend to say
that my son did start sleeping through the night while he was still
nursing.
