How old is your LO? - 20mo

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

Solids? - no complaints. Super into satsumas and green beans.

Did you ever nearly quit BF? If so, what kept you going? - no. Thankfully we've had it easy.

What keeps you going now, after over 1.5 years? - it's easy. he shows zero indication that he's done with it. Stopping would be so much work & feel so artificial to us. Just speaking for myself and G, not making a general statement about nursing relationships / toddler nursing / etc.

Questions/AW? - when he's nursing cradle position, he puts his arm around my waist. It's the best.

GTKY: look in the mirror or take a selfie. What's your favorite thing about your appearance right now? - my hair.

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? Nursing only at bedtime and naps if he wants. WCM at meals

Solids? Can he learn another word besides crackers?

Did you ever nearly quit BF? If so, what kept you going? Early on with all of issues. PPA kept me going until our issues were fixed and then it was easy
What keeps you going now, after over 1.5 years? Weaning is hard. Breaking the association at home is hard

Questions/AW?

GTKY: look in the mirror or take a selfie. What's your favorite thing about your appearance right now? I'm feeling blah about myself but new non-nursing bras are great

How old is your LO? 20 months

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? nursing 1-3x/day (usually just once on weekdays, at least 2 when i'm home on weekends)

Solids? she's crushing solids lately and wants to feed herself with adult sized utensils. i had to explain to her the other day that you really can't fork a piece of ice.

Did you ever nearly quit BF? If so, what kept you going? people definitely encouraged me to when it was hardest. it was just so important to me to make it to a year, mostly to help her little immune system. plus i am extremely stubborn.
What keeps you going now, after over 1.5 years? i like the cuddles, i feel guilty cutting her off...i am getting ready to be done, though.

Questions/AW? DH taught DD to say "mama's boob". it's awesome. (eye roll)

GTKY: look in the mirror or take a selfie. What's your favorite thing about your appearance right now? after my test yesterday (i passed!!!) i took the afternoon off and did all the self care stuff i'd been neglecting. bikini wax, hair cut and color, bought new bras, eyebrow wax, and mani pedi. so i'm feeling pretty good about my appearance in general today!
