How old is LO? Looks like we go here now! He turned 1 month on Sunday
How's it going? Getting through growth spurts okay? What do nights look like? Really well. No concerns. Lots of cluster feeding in the evening but I feed on demand and don't even bother looking at the clock. Nights are decent. First stretch is usually 2.5-3 hrs then 1.5-2 hrs. Party time seems to be 330-5. DH leaves for work just before 5 so he loves that he gets to see the little guy awake. I haven't been able to get back to sleep after being awake for so long the last few mornings. Going to bed early helps me get some sleep.
If you're pumping, how's that going? When are you returning to work or do you SAH? No pumping. On mat leave for a year so I don't expect to pump much, only if I know I need to be away for a bit (which won't happen often)
Questions/concerns/AW? I'm good
GTKY: what is your favorite tv show? Grey's Anatomy, Big Bang Theory

Questions/concerns/AW? We survived our first trip with DD. After trying to be as discreet as possible on our flights, I find myself really wishing it was more socially acceptable to just pull a boob out and feed my baby. No one has said anything about it to me (well except for my mom) but it's been ingrained in me that if I'm going to NIP I need to make sure I'm still adequately covered to be respectful of others. After trying to figure out how to hold DD in position, repeatedly latch her, make sure my shirt doesn't get in the way while still covering the rest of my boob and that either I'm am positioned so that no one can see anything from the side if DD pulls off or wrestling with a cover so I can see what I am doing while still blocking the view of the people sitting inches from me all while crammed into a tiny airplane seat, I have decided I no longer care if a stranger get a glance of my nipple. Feeding my kid shouldn't have to be so stressful.
GTKY: what is your favorite tv show? I don't watch much tv, we don't have cable.
Anecdote time: I nursed in public all the time, in all kinds of places. I did the tank top down, shirt up thing sometimes, but mostly I just whipped my tit out. I latched quickly and once latched, my son's head covered pretty much anything. No one ever said anything bad. Ever. I even had people, including a waiter at a restaurant and an elderly man, come up and make conversation while I was nursing. So my two cents is to give it a try! People probably won't say anything. Remember that most of the time, people really don't pay that much attention to other people.
