My mother breastfed her 7 chidren and she began to have arthitis since she was in her fifties. I suppose, the key to reducing the calcium depletion would be to drink the milk as you breastfeed. I remember I did - the chocolate flavour milk - the brand name for which I cannot, for the life of me, recall what it is. Alternatively, there are also calcium tablets that you can take. But I got a llittle constipated after taking the pills actually. A safer way would be to consult your GP and get her to recomment what's best for you. ![]() |
