I was exclusively breastfeeding, tandeming 2 yo all night and most of
the day and still got my period at 7 weeks. I had Niagara Falls milk
supply and Crispin would eat & eat & eat, throw up, eat & eat & eat,
throw up, eat & eat & eat, throw up, all day. All night. Warm milk
bath every morning at 4 AM without fail. Still got my period at 7
weeks. Grrrr.

I know this was about fertility more than about the eat & eat & eat & throw
up, but I wanted to mention for the benefit of anyone else experiencing
that. My youngest did that, and my LLL leader friend told me he wanted to
suck more than he wanted to eat. She told me to use the same breast for 3-4
hours, then switch. It made all the difference. He was spending a lot of
time sucking, which he needed, and less time actually "eating".

Yes, but didn't you just hate the lopsided boobies? <g> I remember many a
morning when Moly would go through a marathon night nursing I would wake up to
two very different shaped breasts.
