mustard and lactation

2 unrelated questions:

1)i forgot, is mustard okay for us to eat? i know FG addressed it but i cant seem to find anything about it.

2) my last DD, stopped breastfeeding at 10.5 mos. she is almost 18 mos now. altho my cycles have started and im assuming im O'ing every month, im finding that i occly have tiny drips out my nipples if its pressed or if i squeeze it. im always happy about it bc it makesme feel like im still maternal, but this wont affect TTC will it? i know that theres a myth about not being able to get pg if breastfeeding and i also know that it takes a LONG time for milk to completely stop producing. just hope this doesnt impact my abilities to conceive in oct!

I don't know about the mustard gizmo but I wouldn't worry about the breastfeeding and conception. I conceived DS2 the month after I stopped BFing DS1 and I conceived DS3 while BFing DS2 (I stopped when I was 12 weeks pregnant). In early pregnancy with DS2 my boobs got quite leaky which I remember being quite odd - hormones can obviously do strange things! I stopped BFing DS3 a month or two ago and I haven't squeezed to see if I still get any milk. Perhaps I'll try and report back :D

Ha ha - DH was looking the other way. Yep, still got milk :D

Don't know about musard either but the milk out of breast is normal, I can do it yrs after I weaned and never had any trouble conceiving (1st month trying) and I even conceived ds4 while nursing my 14mos old :)

good to know thanks guys!

haha..my dh is like that too..why cant they look? i tried getting dh to feel how hard my boobs got when i was engorged and he whined and didnt want to. is it bc they dont want us to "ruin it" for them?? if they are boob guys? heheheheh!!!

Lol, I know exactly what you mean (there's nothing attractive about a woman using a double electric breast pump is there?!) but in this case I just didn't want him asking why I was sat on the sofa squeezing my boob so I made sure he wasn't looking first!

I wished mine was that way, he actually finds it arousing, I googled it to make sure he was normal lol and a lot of men find leaking milk or even sucking the milk out of the breast(uh no...sorry hun lol) very arousing, when it comes to my boobs and breastfeeding my dh is very annoying lol I mean just leave them alone already! Lmbo

Don't know the mustard but I also have the drips when squeeze thing. It's funny one would think because of this I can breastfeed good but no I always had trouble and little milk. had to add formula too with all my babys.:suprise:

Mustard is forbidden on the FGD for reasons that are unknown to me. I personally think it's fine to eat mustard and it is certainly allowed on the High Everything diet.

Having milk after breastfeeding, even for years afterwards, is totally normal and won't affect your cycles at all. I had milk for 4 (!) years after I had DS 2.

I am living proof you can totally get pg while breastfeeding. I got pg with DS 4 while BF DS 3 and I also nursed him throughout my whole entire pg and then nursed both of them after I had DS 4!!!
