getting upset? when you say fill right up again - I know the theory

but how long does it take? surely not immediately? by the morning

they did feel fuller but definately not at the time.

I second that!!

This is one of those things were reality doesn't quite seem to live

up the theory!!!

It certainly never happened with me - I generally found breastfeeding

OK, but both my kids were extremely demanding from about 5 to around

9 in the evening, and they would just suck constantly until there was

nothing left - and there just wasn't!!

If I let them suck forever, they would get increasingly ratty, and

then perhaps after about another 1/2hr-1hr there would be a tiny,

tiny amount coming through, but certainly not lots!!

What it would do was increase the milk supply - but with a sort of

delayed reaction - so perhaps 24hours later I would have more than

before.

I certainly don't understand this 'it will just keep flowing' theory -

surely the body has to produce the milk some time before it can come

out? In my experience it takes time to change the amount of milk you

produce - both when you need more and when you need less. (Otherwise

why would you get swollen breasts when the child decides to drink

less than normal)??
