I have a friend that still breastfeeds her 4 year old son...This seems odd to me, what do you all think? I try to stay out of their business, but I just wonder if there are any laws broken or something.

(X-posted to MKP) Erin was 1 month old yesterday, and had her first routine paediatric check-up. She's 8.9 lbs and 22.1 inches now (gained 1.85 lbs of weight and 2.2 inches in height)! The thrush is healed so I don't have to use oral gel and the cream for her bottom anymore (unless she gets it...

DS has continued to refuse to nurse on my left side today (has only nursed on that side once in the last 26+ hours - at 4:00am). I pumped 4 oz before going to bed last night but was still somewhat engorged by 4:00 am. I have no way to know how much he usually eats. How much should I be pumping...

My daughter has a vomiting illness, and she wants to nurse so much! And as a two-year-old, that's so hard for her. We're supposed to wait 1 hour after vomiting, then she can nurse a bit (but only a little bit), then wait 15 minutes, and take another "sip". And continue on taking little sips every...
