Oh MummaSue trust yourself, trust your body and trust that gorgeous bubba to tell you what she needs. You are doing it all perfectly hun, absolutely perfectly. I had the same thoughts about BF babies not getting sick much too when DD was sick but think of it this way, she has your antibodies and she may have been all that much sicker has she not been getting booby. No doubt in the next couple of days when the poor little miss starts to feel better she will be ravenous and there will be no doubt those boobies are workin just fine And WOW-EE 8 1/2 months you go girl!!!
