My mom never breastfed so I dont know much about it and I am wanting to breastfeed and my husband wants me to as well. I just had a question about what you ment by not knowing when your baby nursed during the night? Did you have the baby positioned where she could just begin nursing on her own? Also I am confused about how to make sure the baby is emptying the breast in order to get the cream milk as well. Thank you so much for all your books and teachings. My mother in law got me Created to Be His Help Meet for a bridal shower gift ( my husband and i just got married October 16) and I am on the last chapter of the book. It has helped me so much already. God Bless! Dear Mrs. Pearl,

And yes lactation consultants do agree on this. Its all about making sure you breastfeed long enough on each breast (or one breast per session) to get to the hindmilk. My son is 18 months old and still breastfeeding. It is very hard to want to be more free with the breastfeeding, but you know logically "Hey..he's getting three meals a day and snacks and water throughout. How much milk could he possibly need at this age?". He will also turn down any cows milk. I think if I stuck to some sort of schedule I would have been much better off than where I am at now, which is basically at the mercy of my son who now not only sees my breast as nourishment but as comfort as well. Unfortunately now he uses me as a pacifier I feel more than half of the time, has to be nursed to sleep, and still does not sleep through the night! My point is there should be a happy medium which I have totally missed in my breastfeeding experience because I continued "feeding in demand" much longer than I should of and now I am stuck and exasperated.

I totally agree with you. I have a question. What do you think of "Baby wise" by Garry Ezzo and Robert Bucknam. They are amazing Christians and they are amazing books:) I was just wondering what your opinion was. Debbie
