Also me and my husband have had sex within the last mo without an protection. And my daughter's eating habbits are the same. I've been having mild cramping and very tired. I don't remember feeling this way with my daughter.

Still have some milk after stopping breast feeding? I stopped breast feeding my baby at 6 months. She is now 8 months and I still get some milk discharge when I squeeze my nipple. When will it dry up?

Why does one of the milk ducts in my breast show a pinkish color when breast feeding? My daughter is 4 months old and I stopped breast feeding her at 7 weeks old. She has been throwing up all of her formula's since. She has been on like 4 different formulas. She is on Nutramigen now, which is a hypoallergenic formula. She is still throwing this one up but not as much as the others. I was talking to someone and they told me to try breast feeding her a little. Milk is still in my breast and she will take it, but on one of the ducts where the milk is coming out it has a pinkish color. Is this blood or what? Is it ok for her to eat from? She seems to want it but I don't want her to get sick from it either. Does anyone have any suggestion?

How likely is it for me to get pregnant while breast feeding? Hello, I just had a baby a little over 8 weeks ago and I am exclusively breast feeding him. I did however start my period almost 2 weeks ago and my husband and I have not been very careful when we have sex. Since I have started my period, is it more likely that I can get pregnant while I'm still breast feeding? Thanks, Millie
