Hi All.

I know this group's traffic has fallen way off, leaving mostly spam
behind. But despair not. M.k.pregnancy and m.k both have picked up a
bit recently. I thought the traffic decline was in all Usenet
newsgroups, but that is not the case. Some newsgroups are as active
as ever.

Anyway, oldtimers here may remember Monkey Boy who weaned himself at 9
months. My second, Hungry Girl is still nursing at 15 months. Always
first thing in the morning, but most days she wants to nurse before
naps and bedtime and some days she wants to nurse after naps too.
Monkey Boy nursed up to 45 minutes every 1.5 hours or so, day and
night, so for the 9 months he was breastfed I accomplished nothing
much beyond survival (and NAK while I read news). Hungry Girl on the
other hand is a speedy nurser, who rarely takes longer than 10
minutes. MB would not switch sides, and I had constant problems with
letdown and leaking. HG will switch sides if she goes longer than 5
minutes, and I have not needed to use nursing pads for some months
now.

Oops, gotta go.
