I am nursing an 8 month old, and occasionally a two year old - they both eat solid food and take bottles, so nursing is only for "comfort." They don't seem to mind it, but they aren't depending on it, either. When i started Atkins at about 25-30 carbs/day my milk dropped off almost immediately. I am also exercising, something I couldn't do as much when I was nursing more regularly. Most important, I really started to lose weight. It really does work, but it seems that at least for me, my milk lost too in the end.

I just wanted to say that it was a hard decision, but I had to do this for me! And I feel great now!
