How would you explain breastfeeding to a 4 year old?
Posted by: | CommentsI have a 4 yr old son and I am pregnant and planning to breastfeed. Eventually, no matter how much I try to stay in another room, he will “catch” me breastfeeding the baby. I think I should explain whats going on ahead of time so he isn’t too confused but I have no idea how.
How long for period to return while breastfeeding?
Posted by: | CommentsI am breastfeeding my 10wk old baby and wondering how long it will take for my period to return. We are wanting to try for another this summer so I’m wondering when my period will come back. Do I have to stop breastfeeding first?
Thanks!
How do I go about stopping breastfeeding?
Posted by: | CommentsI’m planning on stopping breastfeeding my 15 month old daughter soon, but I don’t know how to go about it. I don’t know anything about it, so please forgive my innocence of the subject. Does it hurt? Am I likely to get overly emotional about it? Or do you think that maybe I should just wait and see if she loses interest in breastfeeding?
I only feed her at night to get her sleepy, and then again if she wakes up during the night. Please don’t give me lectures about her having created a dependancy on me to go to sleep, I know that this has happened.
I’m just after advice.
Thanks in advance 
What is a good book about breastfeeding?
Posted by: | CommentsI’m looking for a book with a lot of information on breastfeeding. This is my second child but my first time breastfeeding and I don’t know too much yet. I can’t go to meetings or anything like that because I have no car and no way of getting around especially with two kids. Can anyone recommend a good book?
How does breastfeeding a toddler make it easier?

Can those with experience please tell me more about this? I am hoping to breastfeed into my son’s toddlerhood.
What does breastfeeding do to your body?
Posted by: | CommentsI’ve been hearing a lot about how breastfeeding is good for your baby but I can’t seem to find out what it does to your own body.
I’ve been super thirsty all the time. Is it because my mammal glands are using up all the fluids I drink in?
I’ve also heard that when you start having sex again after birth, breastfeeding makes you vaginally dry. Is that true?
What else does breastfeeding do to you? Good & bad.

Does breastfeeding really help you to drop the baby weight?
Posted by: | CommentsI’ve gained 35 pounds so far in my pregnancy, which is ok according to my doctor. I’m planning on breastfeeding and supposedly that helps you lose your baby weight relatively fast. Has anyone else found this to be true? If so, could you share your epxeriences with me?
I’m not exactly “concerned” about my weight and my baby’s health is my #1 priority. I just wanted to know if this concept was fact or fiction.

How much liquid should a breastfeeding mother be drinking a day? Or does it not matter?
Posted by: | CommentsSorry for the breastfeeding questions. But this is my first time doing really well breastfeeding and I want to be able to keep it up. This is not intended to put down formula feeding mothers.
How much liquid should a breastfeeding mom be taking in? And does they type of liquid matter?
