How often are you nursing? Solids? NOD. Solids have super super picked up in like the last 10 days or so. 2-3 meals now. She isn't super into breakfast yet, but now if she doesn't get something for lunch and dinner she seems hungry and fussy. Her consumption has increased a lot. Perfect timing we are just about ready to reintroduce all the foods we had to eliminate slowly, but hopefully we can get more creative again.
How are nights? Ok. She has been waking up 3 times while we were away but hopefully that will go back down once we are settled back home
How is pumping/nursing going? Great, I don't pump.
Q/rants/raves ugh first PP AF the day after thanksgiving. 9 months was a good run but I can't say I missed getting a period
GTKY: What's on your holiday/xmas list for you? I think I want to give stitch fix a try. I could use clothes and I hate shopping. I have Mama's milk box but it's a lot of identical stuff and they don't do bottoms, I need more.

How old is baby? 9 months Saturday
How often are you nursing? Solids? nursing is usually every 2-3 hours during the day. 3 solids meals a day.
How are nights? Not bad, 1-2 wake ups, occasionally 3.
How is pumping/nursing going? I only pump once a day in the morning and it's dropping. It used to take me 10ish minutes to get 4-4.5 oz. now it's taking 20 minutes to get 3 oz. I'm trying not to stress about it since A seems satisfied and I only pump for a 2 oz cup before bed and to donate. I'm still pumping more than she's using, but my donation stash is taking longer to build up.
Q/rants/raves
GTKY: What's on your holiday/xmas list for you? New clothes, everything I own is either nursing tops or old and out of style hand-me-downs.
Baby is 11.5 months! We NOD when together and I pump 3x/day at work. She eats solids regularly (or well did until this last week when a double ear infection and teething/molars have messed things up). Dinner is always her best meal. I have taken more out of my diet to better mimic her diet- I thought there were a few things I could still get away with- but right about a week after taking them completely out her sleep at night is really improving. She still wakes 2-3 times, but we are getting a good stretch now. I wonder how long it takes me to get over feeling like a zombie?
How often are you nursing? Solids? No longer nursing, this will be my last check in. She is eating like a champ, but pushed me away last time I tried to nurse (I've been gradually cutting back), and even resisting the bottle. I give her pumped milk, but she'll only take about 12 ounces a day, so I also offer yogurt and a couple ounces of WCM at dinner.
How are nights? She's always sucked at sleeping that has nothing to do with nursing, but she has been night weaned for a couple months.
How is pumping/nursing going? All done pumping as well, just using the last few hundred ounces in my deep freezer.
Q/rants/raves Surprisingly super happy to be done.
GTKY: What's on your holiday/xmas list for you? Kate Spade purse.
Nights are good! 1-2 wake ups which are totally fine.
I dropped my pumping session this weekend and so far so good. I think I have a good enough stash since I SAH. I'm still nervous about a surprise supply crash or something but I have no more freezer space so it's time.
GTKY: I am not asking for much since we are moving. I asked for some clothes and gift cards mainly!

How old is baby? One year tomorrow!! Last check-in here.
How often are you nursing? Solids? Normally NOD 4-6x a day when I'm home with him, this week has been a mess though. He's got an ear infection and possibly teething. Almost every time we go to nurse, he bites me - hard - and then starts wailing and pushing away. Is this what weaning looks like? I am really hoping it's just b/c he's sick and we will get back on track. I am super super emotional about it. There have been many tears (him and me).
Solids were good, not so great since he's been sick. Normally he's at 3 meals a day and wants whatever we're eating. MH and I joke that his motto is 'eat first, ask questions later' because he just grabs whatever we put on his tray and shoves it in his mouth without even looking at it.
How are nights? Besides him being sick, they are about the same as ever. 1-2 wake-ups, on average. Some nights are much worse but we rarely have less than that.
How is pumping/nursing going? See above rant re: nursing. Pumping is fine, my output dropped quite a bit last week but seems to have rebounded.
GTKY: What's on your holiday/xmas list for you? Cast iron skillet, winter coat, serving dishes, jewelry box, Chi straightener. I think MIL is getting us a second convertible seat as a joint gift which would be awesome.
