From 6 months of age onwards, the IgG antibodies passed from the mother to the child have decreased significantly. At this time, the child's immune system has not yet been fully developed, and it is not until the age of 3-4 that this system will produce enough antibodies to help fight infectious diseases. (This is one of the reasons why extended breastfeeding is crucial. Breastmilk provides the antibodies to help fight off these pathogens.)

High lipase breastmilk. Don't freeze ounces of breastmilk before you know if you have high lipase milk. To see if you have high lipase, freeze 5-10ml of breastmilk, defrost it, and then try it. Take it from me, you will know immediately if you have high lipase milk. It tastes like horrible soap! Depending on how high the amount of lipase is, even cooling the milk could effect the taste. See in the comments on how to deal with high lipase milk.

Please remember not to use disposable nursing pads (especially during summer months) the plastic backing traps in moisture and can cause candida (yeast infection). Use washable nursing pads that can breathe and do not say leak proof.
