I think breastfeeding at all sways. hormonal stuff happens when you're lactating and it carries on even when doing it just a bit.Quote:

Yeah but for most people you'll start ovulating at some point anyway if your wee one is old enough to be planning another pregnancy. even if you're nursing quite a bit. Not always, but usually. :)Quote:

^^I believe on another thread Atomic addressed this and said that she wouldn't move a sway based solely on incorporating breastfeeding unless it was the difference of a few months or both parties were completely on board with having another at that time. You can have a strong sway without breastfeeding. And I believe she said it was an additional bonus, but only if the other aspects of your sway were strong would she encourage you to move it up (meaning don't try next month because you are breastfeeding, unless you have already been doing the diet, lifestyle, exercise changes, ya know?). It's a pretty personal decision. We DID incorporate breastfeeding into our sway, we could have waited a few more months to try, but felt that nursing a 13 month old was already helping and that waiting until she was 16 months might not have the same benefits (I thought she might wean by then and it has proven to be true). So, it kinda depends what kind of "move up" you mean (3-4 months or a year or two). Ill see if that thread is still floating around to link in.

^^She kinda addresses it here. It was the thread I was thinking of :) Hope that helps!
Thanks Hotdogz!! Well my son is 10 months, I was going to try and stop at 1 year but I might have trouble doing that as he loves to breastfeed. We werent going to do the first attempt until April. My husband is game for whatever ( he's so laid back). Me on the other hand is more wanting to wait. I wanted to wait until after the holidays because I know I would not be able to do the diet that well doing that time. So I think it would probably be better if I wait until after so I know my diet can me on point 100%. and If I am breastfeeding still then it will be a bonus! :)
If it's a feasible thing to do, but I get nervous when people put their kids closer than they want, in order to incorporate it, if that makes any sense.Quote:

^^^^ see that is what I think, I'm like "YAY a legit reason to keep breastfeeding" but then there are quite a few people who are like "get this kid off me" LOL (and neither way is right or wrong, it's just a matter of personal preference)
ROFL, so true! I think so much of it is hormonal, and getting 'touched out' is no fun from what I've heard. I have fantasies of BFing for years but who knows how I will feel when it's actually happening or how things will pan out.
I wonder if even having recently stopped BF can sway, a lingering effect for a while as the body rebuilds depleted nutrient stores?
