Is there anyway to encourage ovulation while breastfeeding?  DS is 15

Today I went with my mom and the kids to get school supplies for DS.  I had
all the kids with me, and we're doing our shopping.  My mom was pushing DD1

bit and I *know* she's getting a bit tired and ...

I have a question. My baby is 3 weeks old and until a few days ago has been
nursing beautifully. In the past couple of days, he has been struggling and
fussing after a few seconds of nursing. I have heard that babies can get
frustrated that milk is coming to quickly so I've tried ...

Anyone know of any research on giving mom pancreatic enzymes to help
babies with bloody stools despite mom attempting an elimination diet?
I found one study from 1999 in the Journal of Pediatric
Gastroenterology & Nutrition but it had a whopping 4 patients and is

yet. We want to TTC soon but my period showed up this month (not sure
about the ovulation tho), so I was thrilled about not having to wean.
