For the first time in several years, all five of my children are here together for Christmas. They stand in chronological order: Courtney 46, Morgan 43, Darcy 40, Austin 37 and Chance 34. A friend once asked how we were able to space our children three years apart. I said "luck" and my husband said "mostly because of breastfeeding". All five of them nursed past their 3rd birthday. The first and second tandem nursed (I weaned them both when I was pregnant with #3) The third and forth tandem nursed and the fourth and fifth tandem nursed. In fact I am certain it was with the "help" of my fourth that I was able to keep a supply for my preemie #5 baby. When they were little, Austin used to say "I helped save Chance's life" which is true.
