Sorry, y'all! Didn't realize I missed this yesterday.

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

Solids?

How does LO let you know he/she wants to nurse? Or do you only do set times of the day? If so, does LO still ask?

No worries. Thanks for leading the check-in.


How old is your LO? 15.5 months

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? 3-5 times including MOTN. On the road to self-weaning we are not.

Solids? Everything. He also wants to feed himself all the time. I love packets with screw tops that he can squeeze into his own mouth to eat on the go.

How does LO let you know he/she wants to nurse? Or do you only do set times of the day? If so, does LO still ask? Mostly set times. He'll bring me a muslin cloth or the boppy if he sees them or he'll get really grumpy and clingy and I'll offer and he gets excited. Working on vocabulary.

Questions/AW? Making great progress on not nursing to sleep as a regular occurrence. It's working to limit him by telling him that we'll nurse once from each side, then sing songs and cuddle, and then lie down. I think I need to move teeth brushing to after nursing rather than before to make it easier to sub in a cup of milk in a few months, but he fights getting his teeth brushed (wants to do it himself by chewing on the toothbrush).

GTKY: what's something you're looking forward to in June? Vacation this weekend. Sunday goodbye lunch with some friends.

How old is your LO? 15 months

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? 2-3x a day. It was more often over the long weekend because she kept asking.

Solids? She seemed to be on a hunger strike this weekend - even her favorite foods were going straight to the floor. She definitely has teeth coming in so I suspect that may have something to do with it.

How does LO let you know he/she wants to nurse? Or do you only do set times of the day? If so, does LO still ask? During the week we stick to our schedule of morning, after work, and bedtime. She asks by pointing to my boob, then pointing to herself, and then signing milk with both hands. If I don't nurse her after that she'll start hitting my chest, like "hey, I just said I want this".

Questions/AW?

GTKY: what's something you're looking forward to in June? I was just thinking that we don't have anything planned until July - we're heading down to SC to visit the ILs and finally meet our niece - I think technically we're starting that trip on the 30th. Oh - the kitchen reno will definitely be finished in June and I am really looking forward to that!

How old is your LO? Getting close to 16 months

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? Trying to cut out naps hasn't gone very well so far, so naps, Bedtime and MOTN

Solids? With his canines coming in, not very much. Pretty much refused dinner last night.

How does LO let you know he/she wants to nurse? Or do you only do set times of the day? If so, does LO still ask? V almost never asked, even when we did on demand. I would just offer and he would drink or refuse. Since we switched to set times, he has asked a couple of times, by bringing me his nursing pillow or by turning to my boob and making his boob noise

Questions/AW?

GTKY: what's something you're looking forward to in June? Going to San Antonio and visiting with family, some of which I've never met

[agm04]

How old is your LO? 15 months.

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? nursing 2-4x a day. milk 4-5x a day.

Solids? 3 meals, 2 snacks. this week i made whole wheat blueberry muffins and almond butter baked oatmeal. trying very hard to keep introducing new things even when it's tempting to offer only her favorites that i know she'll eat.

How does LO let you know he/she wants to nurse? Or do you only do set times of the day? If so, does LO still ask? Starts by asking, "Mek?" with increasing intensity, adds chest slaps if I'm not responding with boobs. We're working on manners. It's super cute when she pats my boob and says, "dah!" (done), then the same to the other side.

Questions/AW? How are these babies so damn adorable and fun and exhausting at once?

GTKY: what's something you're looking forward to in June? FRIDAY - DH and I are going to Miami for our first kid-free weekend together!!! Then my SIL's wedding at the end of the month, and then I think we'll start actively TTC again.

[danitaec]

How old is your LO? 15 months and change

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? Twice a day, 5oz each time

Solids? Yep! Recently decided tomatoes are ok, after previously hating them...

How does LO let you know he/she wants to nurse? Or do you only do set times of the day? If so, does LO still ask? Uh... pass!

Questions/AW?

GTKY: what's something you're looking forward to in June? Summer break starts at lunchtime tomorrow! Wahoo!

[lilyelayne]

kartish I'm picturing boob noise as V imitating the sound he makes when nursing haha.
danitaec yay summer break!! Hope your half day speeds by!
dmorgendorffer yay for the reno end in sight

[lilyelayne]

agm04 have so much fun on your weekend away!!


How old is your LO? - almost 15mo

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? - unsure. 2-4x a day? 2x MOTN.

Solids? - yeah. Nothing to report here.

How does LO let you know he/she wants to nurse? Or do you only do set times of the day? If so, does LO still ask? - he signs milk & says momma. I only offer if he's really cranky & distracted and I suspect he's not together enough to communicate his needs. He'll tell me "done done" if I offer and he doesn't want to nurse.

GTKY: what's something you're looking forward to in June? - my nephew is turning 4!
