How old is your LO? 19 months

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? 2ish x/day nursing, but she's asking quite a bit. WCM 2-4x/day.

Solids? She's loving food these days. Last night I made lasagna soup for dinner, and she couldn't get enough.

Questions/AW? Any tips on getting DD to snuggle me without asking to nurse? I know she just wants cuddles sometimes, but it's like she associates the two so strongly that she can't separate them. I can't even lay down with her without her asking. I guess that's probably normal?

GTKY: Oh man. I'd definitely be an early shopper on my own, but DH is the latest of the late shoppers. It gives me so much anxiety. My family actually doesn't do Christmas gifts, except for the kids. We usually make a donation in each others' honor, shop for an angel, volunteer together...something like that, depending on where everyone is that year. But DH's family is big into Christmas gifts, and he is often shopping on Christmas Eve. They also just tell each other what they want, which seems so strange to me. But whatever!

How old is your LO? - 19.5 mo

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? - typically 3-4x/day, 1x night. But yesterday 2x and last night 0. In fact it's 820am and he's still asleep?!

Solids? - he's not loving chicken right now

Questions/AW?

GTKY: are you an early or last minute Christmas shopper? - last minute. I want to be early but I fail.

agm04 I pretty much only get cuddles while nursing or reading books. Or babywearing, but since he's strapped to my back I don't know if those are voluntary
I think it's normal for nursing to be her safe connected space to you.

How old is your LO? 20 months

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? 1-2 nursing and wcm 3-4 times a day.

Solids? Pretty much everything. Daycare is good with peer pressure

Questions/AW? We're weaning this month. It's just bedtime/nap time comfort nursing now and my nips hurt. Nap time is straight sleep training techniques to do. Bedtime is whole routine change. I'm both emotional and totally over it

GTKY: are you an early or last minute Christmas shopper? Early for DS, late for H. H is hard to shop for. I wish he'd tell me what he wants instead of just buying it for himself

Hugs seamonster. Best of luck weaning

HIIIIIIIIII

How old is your LO? 20 months

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? We nurse probably 3 single times a week. DH does bedtime fairly often (especially lately, as I have been heavy into the evening Halloween projects!), so some days, no nursing at all. I will nurse at bedtime a few days a week when I am the one putting him down. I was super sad about the decreased frequency a few months ago, but not so much anymore. Whatever we’re doing now, feels normal for us!
WCM: He gets about 16oz spread out between meals

Solids? Likes grilled chicken breast, bananas (always), greek yogurt, and ate some bison burger the other day! Still with the broccoli nuggets too lol

Questions/AW? Food-related AW: From day 1, I have been hesitant to let other people prepare his meals…. Why, IDK! It’s like some stupid control thing. DH always forgets something, pieces are too big or small, etcetcetc. So from 3 months old/the start of daycare, I have either pumped and sent to school his EBM or made him breakfast and lunch to bring to school. Well, to avoid the “omg it’s 11pm and I forgot to make his lunch and wanna go to bed”, I finally signed up for school-provided lunches 3 days/week! I feel like I am finally lightening up a little bit on the whole area of controlling what your kid eats! Yay for me?

GTKY: are you an early or last minute Christmas shopper? Ummm usually last minute! oooops
