my baby refuses to eat solids
"Catherine Woodgold" wrote in message ... Some babies live on just breast milk longer than others. Not to scare you, but I read a story in a newspaper about a girl 5 years old who had to live on just breastmilk. Her parents fed her with breastmilk donated from others -- it didn't say why the mother couldn't supply enough, but just seemed to imply that mothers stop producing milk when their baby gets a little older. She was allergic to other foods. I think the reason for a decrease in supply as babies get older is not just due to the reduced nursing, but also due to the shape of the palate, it changes and the amount of milk they can get out reduces and correspondingly, the amount of milk produced. So even if a toddler was nursing for all their nutrition there would still almost certainly come a point when mum alone wasn't producing enough. Cheers Anne |
