I feel no let down at all now at almost 17 mos. Sometimes I think my DS is
just sucking. There is not a lot of swallowing going on either, but when he
pulls off, there is milk on his face. He loves it more than ever now and
nurses for a very long time during our 2 sessions a day. Many times, I feel
like he's getting a dry run, but he must be getting something. I wish I
knew how much he's getting, but it doesn't really matter, since he likes it.
It's been this way for a few months and no sign of weaning completely for
us.

(On a side note, I'm pretty sure my supply has been lowered, as I did Clomid
to get pg, am still taking progesterone, am pg, etc., so I've done/am doing
many things that'd lower my supply)

Ok, so 14 months into this.... ;-)
I really wonder how much milk DS is getting. He fairly often falls
asleep against me, without nursing...just wants a face full of booby And
letdowns take FOREVER, and now that I don't feel them much at all I only
have his swallowing to go on...which suggests there ISN'T much letdown
happening most of the time....

So.....are we weaning?? (I've asked this before) He mostly only nurses
to sleep now, and some mornings doesn't have much interest either, and I
am never "full" or even sure which side to offer, even if he hasn't
nursed for 12+ hrs on one side (ie, if he nurses to sleep on teh left
side, and doesn't nurse again til 7am, he may not have nursed on the
right since noon, but the right side won't feel fuller)

I managed to pump 2-3 oz a few weeks ago, but rarely manage more than a
tiny bit, when I try. I miss that, watching and feeling all that milk
spraying out when I pumped.....weird, and I know, obviously if I miss it
it just means I didn't do it often enough to be glad to quit.... ;-)
