How old is your LO?

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk?

Solids?

Questions/AW?

GTKY: what's something you learned in the last year about motherhood?

[lilyelayne]

How old is your LO? - 14 mo

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? - 3-4x during the day, 2x MOTN

Solids? - no complaints

Questions/AW? - my period is due any day now. If I don't take my calcium/mag supplement, my letdown takes ages to happen and DS gets frustrated. If I do, I have so much milk it gets uncomfortable or leaky by supper time. Oh well. Hopefully it's just a few more days.

GTKY: what's something you learned in the last year about motherhood? - a million things, of course, but I'll say one of the biggest things is trusting DS as he learns his limits.

How old is your LO? 14 months

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? At least twice a day and at least once overnight. We're still on demand when we're together. He just doesn't usually ask when we're out.

Solids? He used to eat everything, but he's become picky this week. Boo. Dinner was a container of raspberries and some bites of red bell pepper (because he didn't want to eat the yellow one I sliced up).

Questions/AW?

GTKY: what's something you learned in the last year about motherhood? That I'm forever going to be learning new things about DS and he's always surprising me.

How old is your LO? 15 months!

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? Naps, Bedtime and MOTN

Solids? Yes,

Questions/AW? Planning on starting nap weaning this weekend, but having lots of feels about it

GTKY: what's something you learned in the last year about motherhood? Well, that babies turn into toddlers way too fast! But mostly that all my preconceived notions about parenting were built on ignorance and pride, and have mostly all been thrown out the window. And even though it bothers me at times, it really does take a village (and F15) to raise a child.

How old is your LO? 14.5 months

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? 3x a day, even when we are together on the weekends we've transitioned to morning, afternoon, and bedtime. Maybe an extra session before a nap if she is really cranky.

Solids? Yes. Last night DH made kielbasa and pierogis - I was shocked at how much DD loved the kielbasa.

Questions/AW?

GTKY: what's something you learned in the last year about motherhood? Everything is a phase, this too shall pass.

How old is your LO? 14.5m

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? He gets a cup of boob juice morning and night, with coconut milk during the day.

Solids? Yep, although I'm thinking we may have to cut out strawberries. His bum has a nasty rash and I don't know what else could be causing it.

Questions/AW?

GTKY: what's something you learned in the last year about motherhood? It's freaking hard. But totally doable. I don't know if I believed that second part this time last year.

How old is your LO? 14 months

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? 4-6x a day

Solids? 3 meals, 2 snacks. she eats a lot!

Questions/AW? best end to mother's day: DD unlatching at bed time nursing session to point at me and say "mama!" she's always tapping/hitting/pointing at me and saying mama, but it felt so warm and fuzzy last night.

GTKY: what's something you learned in the last year about motherhood? Oh man. So much. Those moms who act like mothering is such a joy aren't full of sht. Lol. I think the fog of postpartum depression/anxiety combined with a total lack of sleep made for a really hard first year, but it has truly become my favorite thing about life. Definitely plan to remember this for next time!
