How often are you nursing? Solids? NOD, but I think it's about 8-10 in a 24 hr period depending on sleep. Solids 2x a day sometimes 3.
How are nights? Ok. We had a couple of really good ones in a row including one where she only woke up once for the 2nd time ever! But then last night was not so great again.
How is pumping/nursing going? Great. I don't pump.
Q/rants/raves LO has recently become fascinated with the nipple. And now likes to hang out and play with it when she is done nursing. Also I accidentally squirted her with milk the other day and she thought it was so funny.

Baby is 11 3/4 months! Turns 1 on Sunday. This will be my last check in here
We are still NOD, I would say probably 8x in 24 hours. I am still pumping 3x a day at work and sending whatever I can get (some days I'm down to 10 oz). She wants solids 3x a day, iffy on breakfast. Usually takes BM as a snack (unless she sees big sis having a snack). We've had a few better nights recently interspersed with a lot of regular crappy nights. I wish I could figure out what makes those good nights good. I plan to pump regularly at least until Christmas vacation. We don't have a safe BM alternative yet, so I feel kind of stuck to providing her milk.
GTKY: DH has been requesting a thai butternut squash curry chicken soup on repeat. The baby loves it too, so that's a bonus.
How often are you nursing? Solids? She's teething majorly right now, so we are nursing constantly. She's getting 4 teeth at once, all at the top. She already has the 4 front teeth (top 2 and bottom 2). Solids 3 times a day with a bonus snack some days.
How are nights? Usually up twice a night for less than 10 minutes. Occasionally up once or 3 times.
How is pumping/nursing going? Her latch is a little off from the teething, but I'm hoping it corrects itself as soon as they all pop through.
Q/rants/raves: the nursing gymnastics are getting out of control. Her favorite position is to have her foot in my mouth. Not my favorite.
GTKY: Favorite winter meals/recipes? I'm pretty simple, grilled cheese on sourdough and tomato soup is my go-to. I wish I could get DS to eat tomato soup.

How often are you nursing? Solids? Every two hours for nursing whether he is showing signs or not (more often if he gets hungry sooner). Solids 1-3 times a day depending on his interest.
How are nights? They were great. Then we went to an out of town wedding and it was a hot mess for over a week. I think we are finally back to the 1-2 wakeups.
How is pumping/nursing going? Good I guess
Q/rants/raves my first pp AF has arrived. The first day I noticed no impact to supply. Then my pumping started to drop but ds didn't seem unhappy. Today he seems less satisfied and is nursinf very frequently and pulls away crying. :/ he downed some bottles of thawed milk at mils so I'm not sure if he's not getting as much from me right now or if he's just being fussy. I'm making a point to drink more water and drinking some Gatorade. Will my supply recover after AF goes away? Is there anything else I can do to help?
GTKY: Favorite winter meals/recipes? Chili and stews 😍
