Alimoy, I have noticed a big drop in feeds about 2 weeks ago here. It didn't happen gradually either, it was quite sudden. He was still having around 7-8 feeds in 24 hours when he was 8 months and now he's having 4-5 each day. Usually early morning, mid morning, mid afternoon, before bed and maybe a middle of the night feed. He's actually slept through 3 times this week.
Sorry can't help you with your question about getting your cycle back... mine came back regularly when DS was 3 months and I was still feeding 8-10 times per day! It seems to vary so much from person to person. Some people get it back when they stop overnight feeds.

Just a question about the Gill Rapley book - for those who have it, did you buy online or at a bookstore? I have checked all my local bookstores and they don't have it and will take 3 weeks to get it in. Hoping to get my hands on it a bit quicker than that if I can.
