I cannot say enough GOOD things about lactation. With my first child, I quit after ten days, when my monster-in-law repeatedly made me doubt that my son was getting enough milk. Eight years later .. and no monster-in-law to make me uptight.. I had a FANTASTIC experience with my next son who I nursed for 15mos. Engorgement is easily relieved with expression and warm compresses.. Nipples need to be toughened before a woman can lactate well (there's something FUN the couple can do together.. "yank, twist, nibble here please --->" My former Master enjoyed my milk during this 15mos period also, as it was his child I bore. I loved loved loved nursing.. even when it hurt some. It was my private time with my child, no phone calls, no distractions, restful, nurturing and nourishing. I would hear ANOTHER baby crying somewhere in a store.. and start to feel my breasts engorge and drip milk. I want to share that again with a Master, too. I have wild fantasies about nursing.. and when and how to do it. But I'm nuts, too and I want one more child at the age of 40! (Egads!) Take a vitamin if you are worried about calcium deficiency. Wear breast pads til you know how quickly your milk comes in. The body only produces what is demanded of it. If you nurse twice a day, your breasts will adapt to making milk that will suffice for that amount of demand. If you nurse your lover only at bedtime.. you'll see that your body will make enough to satisfy that need, too. DRINK WATER!! (And an occasional beer! to help with the let-down reflex.) Nursing is healthy, natural and a wonderful way to bring two people super close together. (PS... Breast milk has laxative properties.. so, don't drink toooo much until you know how your system will react to it!!)
