Questions/AW?

What is something about BF your toddler that's made you smile lately? He's been only waking up once at night and going down quicker so there's that. Mama needs sleep

GTKY: what's a book/magazine/movie/tv show/podcast you're really into right now? Listening to Welcome to Nightvale while at the gym. I'm way behind the curve on cool things

How old is your LO? almost 16 months

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? at least twice a day, + 2 cups of half breast, half cow milk OR 2 additional nursing sessions when I'm home. We're almost out of breastmilk in the freezer though, so those daytime cups are about to become all cow milk. (A little sad about that for some reason.)

Solids? She's really into steak and ribs lately. She asks for "Stick!" anytime she sees meat. Lol.

Questions/AW? Nope.

What is something about BF your toddler that's made you smile lately? Everything? When I pick her up out of the crib in the morning, she's like, "mek?" and I tell her yes, we'll have milk, and she's like, "okay!" and it makes my heart explode.

GTKY: what's a book/magazine/movie/tv show/podcast you're really into right now? Nothing super interesting, but DH and I watch GoT (we're a week behind bc he's out of town) and Masterchef.

seamonster If it makes you feel better on being behind, I've never heard of Welcome to Nightvale. I live under a rock!

How old is your LO? 16 months

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? 2-3 times a day. + 2 bottles of wcm when she is at daycare.

Solids? Yes, but lately it seems like unless it is a banana solid food is for throwing not eating.

Questions/AW? DD keeps kicking me in the face while she's nursing. It's not intentional but she discovered she can hold her leg up and grab her toes which puts her foot right in my face. Anyone have suggestions?

What is something about BF your toddler that's made you smile lately? She's gotten really good at asking to nurse, its cute to see her get excited and sign milk.

GTKY: what's a book/magazine/movie/tv show/podcast you're really into right now? I need to find a new book to get into. The only current TV show I've been watching is the Mindy Project on Hulu. Oh and whatever the tiny house builder show is on HGTV. Who are these people moving into tiny houses with kids!?!?!

How old is your LO? - 15.5 mo

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? - I dunno.

Solids? - no issues.

Questions/AW? - I'm grateful for this community. I don't know anyone nursing a toddler IRL, and I love our nursing time so much.

What is something about BF your toddler that's made you smile lately? - he massages my breast if he thinks the flow is too slow, and if that doesn't help he takes my hand and tries to use it to massage. It's so cute.

GTKY: what's a book/magazine/movie/tv show/podcast you're really into right now? - I'm reading the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. I read the first 10 or so in middle/high school but I never finished. I don't remember any of it, so it's like reading for the first time.

dmorgendorffer can you change positions? Or bend her leg a different way so she can reach her foot without having it in your face? Otherwise I'd just keep saying "don't kick momma, that hurts" and redirecting her foot. When G is stuck on some behavior I don't like, we play patty cake while he nurses instead. Or I ask him to show me my eyes, nose, mouth, cheek.

dmorgendorffer Kicks to the face is why DS stays in his sleeping bag for morning nursing. I try to tuck his legs under my arm in cradle otherwise or hold his foot.

We've been doing lots of lying down/side nursing lately...maybe that would help?
