Kelley wrote to me with the following question:
My 10 month old babe has started to come over (she’s been walking for about two months now). She starts to nurse, and then as soon as my milk drops she fusses to get up and walks away, happy as a clam I might add. Is this normal? […]
Given that physicians recommend breastfeeding for at least one year and beyond, it is assumed that at some point sooner or later, the breastfed baby will have new baby teeth! Some nursing moms and babies sail through that transition without problems, and even benefit from the soothing that breastfeeding can provide a teething baby. But […]
As a follow-up question to this one about breast milk storage guidelines, I got this question:
My husband was supposed to feed the baby with my breastmilk while I was away but I came home too early and now, the baby would not bottlefeed. He probably sensed me. Unfortunately, the breastmilk got wasted. So how do […]
This latest question relates to the discussion we had recently about promoting breastfeeding to pregnant women.
Dear Angela,
I have a friend who is on bed rest and will probably have premature multiples. I gently asked whether she plans to breastfeed and she responded with comments about how she isn’t sure but she’s sick of strong […]
Jeannee recently left a comment seeking information on weaning from a supplemental nursing system:
I am an IBCLC and currently searching for information or testimonials on weaning from the supplementary nursing system. Once the line is introduced mothers and babies do seem to become dependent on it and knowing the best way to remove it from […]
Today’s Mom-to-Mom breastfeeding question comes from a mother battling recurrent mastitis. She writes:

I thought her comment cried out for a little mother-to-mother support. After reading her comment, please leave a comment of your own with how you’ve handled sleeping arrangements and/or weaning from co-sleeping without crying-it-out.

After I wrote about how to heal a bite mark, one reader asked the very reasonable question of how to prevent a baby from biting in the first place. Steph wrote:
Q: My 12 month old son is used to being nursed to sleep, but with three teeth coming in at once, he is now also […]
Today’s Mom-to-Mom question is more of a Parent-to-Parent question because I received the following from Abel of Parent Wonder:
Q: I found you on breastfeeding123.com’s “Fostering Independence in the Breastfed Child” and I must say that I like your blog. I have a question on Attachment Parenting. Do you have a problem that your child is […]
A reader writes:
Q: I could use some weaning advice for mothers who have been feeding on demand. I just cannot work all day and nurse all night. I am truly at the end of my tether.
A: Good for you for breastfeeding your baby on demand for a full year! When you start to resent nursing, […]
