Such great answers!! I never really limited my diet- just made sure I got lots to drink. I'm not a soda drink and really only drink milk and water. If my supply would start to decrease, I would increase my water and that would help!! I never noticed a certain food would bother any of the girls and I love my garlic and onions. I do know of some babies it would bother so just trial and error!

As far as the pain, I would use Lanolin cream or express a bit of my milk onto my nipple and that would help heal the cracks!

A good lactation counselor is a God-send!!

As for how long. My oldest I nursed for 13 months. We were both ready to wean. I'm still nursing my youngest and hope to for at least a year. At a year we'll decide what we want to do- we might keep going or we might wean. I've been blessed with very supportive family and friends. Like Cataholic said, their ignorance is bliss and do what you feel is best for your child!!

Good luck!!
