[lilyelayne]

I'm gonna use the same questions as last week since no one played. Y'all just let me know if you're done with this check in


How old is your LO?

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

Solids?

What's something nursing a toddler has taught you about parenting?

Questions/AW?

GTKY: if you could give your spouse a superpower, what would it be?

[agm04]

How old is your LO? 18 months

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? somewhere between 2 and 1 million times per day.

Solids? we're back on a decent streak right now. we fed her PBJ in the bathtub so often on vacation (bc we were lateish getting back to our hotel) that now when i tell her it's time for a bath, she says "jeh-ey?" It's pretty cute.

What's something nursing a toddler has taught you about parenting? patience, and to tune into her needs with as much understanding as i can muster, even in stressful situations.

Questions/AW? nothing

GTKY: if you could give your spouse a superpower, what would it be? the ability to clean everything in 2 seconds?

How old is your LO? 18.5 months

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

Solids? Starting to try more things, but she's still pretty picky

What's something nursing a toddler has taught you about parenting? I second agm04, patience. Also, that she has a mind of her own now and knows what she wants and doesn't want.

Questions/AW? I think we are nearing the end, tonight she said she was all done nursing before bed, and then went and asked DH for a cup of milk which she proceeded to suck down.

GTKY: if you could give your spouse a superpower, what would it be? hmm I dont know, something that we could really capitalize on so we could both quit our jobs.

How old is your LO? 18.5 months

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? 1-2 times. Bedtime for sure. Mornings or nap maybe

Solids? Eats pretty much everything, especially fruit ans veggies. Adult silverware is becoming a must have.

What's something nursing a toddler has taught you about parenting? Patience and that the saying "the days are long, but the years are short" is too true. When did my tiny baby get so long?

Questions/AW? What are everyone's current goals and weaning plans? Right now I flip flop between pushing weaning and letting him drop, but I don't think he'd give up bedtime nursing on his own.

GTKY: if you could give your spouse a superpower, what would it be? Super negotiating because neither of us likes haggling over prices or services

[agm04]

seamonster for now i'm still thinking i'll follow DD's lead on weaning. since TTC #2 is proving to be more difficult than #1, i've considered pushing it. but when i consider that nothing guarantees a second baby, i just want to cherish our nursing relationship as long as possible.

How old is your LO? - 18mo

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? - 3-4x day, 1-2x night

Solids? - he's actually using utensils less these days, but eating more.

What's something nursing a toddler has taught you about parenting? - patience and trust. Trust DS to know what he needs, trust my body to provide it.

Questions/AW? - seamonster I'm just following his lead, which looks like no weaning in sight. We plan to TTC next year some time (I waver our start date from Feb to August a lot, but haven't gotten much input from DH) so if we're still nursing when pregnancy dries up my milk, I maaaaayyy push weaning then. But who knows.

GTKY: if you could give your spouse a superpower, what would it be? - I'm not sure. Midas touch, as long as he could turn it on or off? A year ago I would've definitely said lactation.
