I did not ovulate for 33 months after one child, 35 months after another
and 17 after the baby.

we were breast feeding intensively.

I was able to restart lactating a few years after I finished breastfeeding
by simulating the pumping motion of a pump.

Yesterday one of my son's friends was mad at him. One of the insults was,
"Oh go and eat some of your mum's homemade crap!"
