Re: breastfeeding & menses

[Guest guest]

Nurse through the night you say? Hmm, that wouldn't be my daughter that

finally started sleeping in her own bed at the ripe old age of FOUR, and my

FIVE year old son, who is right now dozing in my bed (next to his 9 year old

sister, btw, who had a bad dream last night and didn't want to sleep in her

own room). A queen size bed with FOUR people, 2 cats and a dog. Its gonna

be a looonngggg night......

Both nursed through the night unti lthey weand at over the age of 2. It was

the night-time nursings that went last, those " going to sleep " nursing

sessions.

Oh, how funny! I did that with my second one that nursed for 16

months...he was pacified with the breast alright! Never even read the

book or knew there was a technique.

Still got my period at 6 months! And he got his first tooth right

around that time to add insult to injury...and he found it rather

humorous to wield his dental prowess! : @

Well, you could always have them sleep on the floor now! (Not as if I

have any experience with this problem...except when there's a

thunderstorm...or on Halloween...or when we moved & my 13yo was afraid

of her room...ACK!)

They've done that, too. But we have no carpets in the house, we ripped them

all out due to dogs and my dust allergies, carpets were KILLING me. WE have

all hardwood floors now. Not so comfy for sleeping. I should get them a

feather pillow topper for the floor, and slide it under the bed. But then

there would be NO excuse for them to go to their own rooms.

Well, I guess it doesn't matter, its not like I have any libodo left or

anything anyway :-/
