How old is your LO? 18 months tomorrow. HOWWWWWWWWWWWWW???

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

Solids? 3 meals, 2 snacks, never know what/how much/if she will eat anymore. She doesn't even like pasta these days. Not even Annie's mac n cheese!

Does your SO have any opinions about BF, including extended BF? A year ago, he side eyed my wanting to go past a year. Now he's more of a softie about it than I am. Sometimes he offers her milk on my behalf (thanks DH).

Questions/AW? DD's giggle when she knows she's getting milk...it's too cute.

GTKY: what was one of your favorite classes in school (grade school or college)? College: Econ in high school, my first finance class in college. I didn't put much effort into school (and got by fine, nothing special), but man I wish I could do it over and apply myself. I enjoy learning so much more now!

How old is your LO? - 17.5mo

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? - dunno. Lots today since he's sick. Only once last night, at 530am.

Solids? - he's super into chicken right now.

Does your SO have any opinions about BF, including extended BF? - I don't think so. He's supportive of me & DS nursing as much & long as we want but I'm not sure he thinks it's anything special, if that makes sense.

Questions/AW?

GTKY: what was one of your favorite classes in school (grade school or college)? - I loved number theory in college.

How old is your LO? 18 months!

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? nursing 2x, wcm 2x

Solids? Same agm04, she is picky and also very inconsistent about what she likes and doesn't like. She has asked for pizza every night so far this week .

Does your SO have any opinions about BF, including extended BF? I don't think he really has an opinion. He seems on board with letting her decide when to stop. I think he'd be supportive no matter what I chose to do, just kind of defers that to me.

Questions/AW? Are you still nursing to sleep at night? We had stopped that for a while but she's back in that habit. Not sure if I'll regret it later.

GTKY: what was one of your favorite classes in school (grade school or college)? hmmm... I don't remember. There was pretty cool one in college called LITEC (Laboratory Intro to Embedded Controls) where we built and programmed some simple robotics so that was fun. Also I really liked the TA.

dmorgendorffer we nurse after pjs in the dark nursery. DS is allowed to fall asleep if he wishes but he almost always sits up when he's done and asks to read, so then we do book, prayers, lullaby, in the crib awake. I leave it up to him. Sometimes he just stays on the boob, awake, and I ask if he'd like to read or switch sides. I get itchy with too much comfort nursing and prefer to switch sides to get a better letdown.

How old is your LO? 18 months

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? Nursing at bedtime. Sometimes once overnight or in the morning. Usually he ignores even an offer to nurse in the morning. He also is sometimes rejecting nursing before Nagios at home. WCM at snack time and in his cereal.

Solids? He eats so much. And he's still losing his toddler belly. Corn on the cob is a current obsession.

Does your SO have any opinions about BF, including extended BF? He's OK with it. It keeps DS happy and we have a great bond. DS is self-weaning so far so he's OK with me not pushing weaning just yet even though I originally planned to do so about now.

Questions/AW? DS still nurses to sleep most nights. The other nights we rock and sing songs after he sits up when he's done nursing. This is something I know I need to substitute for to fully wean, but I'm not ready yet.

DS has a sippy cup of water in his crib. He woke up tonight crying, found his cup and was drinking water and going back to sleep before I could even get in there.

GTKY: what was one of your favorite classes in school (grade school or college)? I loved abnormal pyschology and greek mythology. I wish I'd taken more classes not for my major and had more learning fun in college. My friend is an English professor and her posts about her classes sometimes make me wish I'd done English in addition to my biology and chemistry degrees.

dmorgendorffer we don't nurse to sleep, but we had to stop that a long time ago because it was causing issues (she'd wake up as soon as i put her down upset, over and over). we do books, nursing (i usually tell her stories or sing to her while she nurses at her request), then songs, sound machine, in crib awake. she always says "buh buh, nigh nigh" as I leave and it cracks me up. anyway i say if it's working right now, go with it.
