Questions/AW?

GTKY: what's something you're looking forward to in September?

[dmorgendorffer]

How old is your LO? 18 months

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

Solids? Pizza? Every night she asks for pizza. She actually ate some meatball with her spaghetti last night and she typically refuses all meat. She must be very Italian at heart.

Questions/AW? At this point only nursing 2x a day would it have any effect on ttc? With regular periods again I didn't think so but as we're now tfas I'm curious if anyone knows.

GTKY: what's something you're looking forward to in September? The return of Football. And Fall weather. And pumpkin flavored foods. Fall is amazing.

How old is your LO? - 17.5mo

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

Solids? - he's really into meat, rice, and cucumbers right now.

Questions/AW?

GTKY: what's something you're looking forward to in September? - our movie theatre is showing Labyrinth! I've already secured childcare so DH and I can go. Though it is the only movie G will sit and watch so I feel a bit bad not bringing him, but I'm not risking a meltdown and missing it.

dmorgendorffer pretty sure as long as you're having cycles, BF won't affect TTC. Pregnancy may affect your milk supply & willingness to nurse though.

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? nursing 2-3x day, WCM 2-3x day

Solids? loves fruit, peanut butter, rice, and bread. most other things are a total crapshoot.

Questions/AW?

GTKY: what's something you're looking forward to in September? Football, our trip to California, baking fall things even though it's a billion degrees here.

dmorgendorffer yay TTC! we are trying too, and my OB just prescribed progesterone due to short luteal phases, which he says is likely related to breastfeeding. I would assume all is fine unless you have reason to suspect otherwise. Not sure if you chart or not, but I have been since my cycle returned. I'm clearly ovulating, but my temp is consistently dropping to coverline around 9 DPO, which is why I suspected an issue (since implantation is usually 10+ DPO). I know PLENTY of people who have gotten pregnant while still BF with no issues!

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? I guess this will be my last check in, because after a couple of weeks of offering water or other forms of soothing at night, Victor has weaned completely. While we were at my grandparents house he woke up freaking out a couple of nights but refused the boob whenever I offered. So I guess we are actually done.

Solids? He might eat or might not. Doesn't really matter if we offer favorites either. Hopefully he gets back to eating soon.

Questions/AW?

GTKY: what's something you're looking forward to in September? Um not much going on next month, but it is DH's birthday soon.

GTKY: what's something you're looking forward to in September? Apply picking is starting soon!

Congrats on 18 months kartish! And congrats on weaning!

michelle142 there's a weaning thread on the BF board that could be helpful. At this age, it's mostly substitution and distraction. One of the ladies who was in the extended check in with me said she couldn't be anywhere that her son likes to nurse, so basically she spent a month never sitting down in her living room.

It's generally recommended to cut out one feeding each week (or every two weeks if that's preferable). Don't forget to substitute not only calories but also snuggles and comfort. Good luck! Am I forgetting something big happening for you in late September??
