Oh BG I'm so sorry your little poppet has had such a tough run lately, ontop of everything else you have to deal with (not to mention her of course!) you are SUCH a trooper! Good on you for sticking with bf this long it sure is comforting for both when they are unwell. PS I hope you all get a little respite now.

WM yep your Dr is a noob! Actually I can barely believe you were told that, especially being in the medical profession yourself *pfft* to your Dr lol. FWIW I have been pg AND/or bf since June 2006 and I've had no adverse health issues! My babies/toddlers have all weaned a few months into og though but it hasn't really bothered me coz apart from #1 they all got at least a year and I wouldve happily continued if they wanted to. This time actually I am a little relieved almost that ds weaned a few weeks ago as bubby does have suspected IUGR and so of course I want to be doubley reassured she's got every chance to get all she needs keep at it with your little man as long as you both want I say
