Of course, a lot of *individual* babies didn't survive, during this time, so I'm glad we have more options today.<br /><br />Also, in reply to the original post - why do people call low supply 'pretty rare'? Although we don't have very accurate figures, the ones recognised by the WHO as being best available show it to affect between 1 and 5% of women. That's uncommon, but I wouldn't call it 'pretty rare'.Dr Sarahhttp://parentingmythsandfacts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239898940439223759.post-36712057019948392562014-07-11T14:27:22.464+01:002014-07-11T14:27:22.464+01:00I wonder how the human race survived before formul...I wonder how the human race survived before formula ;)Laura Honeybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10196782114283856233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239898940439223759.post-39646332837353447092014-07-11T14:26:49.414+01:002014-07-11T14:26:49.414+01:00Hahahahahaha!

It is possible to use breastfeeding as contraception in the early months - if following biological nurturing, which includes feeding on demand, lying down to nurse and taking a nap with baby during the day - and equally it's possible to get pregnant whilst breastfeeding, and to tandem feed afterwards.Laura Honeybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10196782114283856233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239898940439223759.post-75131166842060939932014-07-11T14:10:01.571+01:002014-07-11T14:10:01.571+01:00It's appalling how many women get told this.
