How old is your LO? - 21 months today!

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? - when he asks. I think it's around 4x day.

Solids? - got lots of compliments on his eating this weekend when we were out with friends :-) I know he'll probably get pickier as a developmentally appropriate exercise in control, but it was fun watching my friends crack up at how excited he gets for guacamole

Questions/AW?

GTKY: do you have a comfort movie/tv show/book that you've seen/read before but still turn to when you're in a bad mood? - definitely movie and book. Movie is the Sabrina remake. Several books, the Crystal Singer trilogy by Anne McCaffrey comes to mind immediately.

How old is your LO? 21 months

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? 1-2

Solids? Pretty much everything. I should not have drunk the milk from my cereal bowl. This is now how DS wants to drink his milk

Questions/AW? We had nap with no nursing, no screaming, and no driving in the car. I'm thinking we may try cold turkey next week for bed. He likes nursing, but seems to be OK without it as long as he isn't overly tired.

GTKY: do you have a comfort movie/tv show/book that you've seen/read before but still turn to when you're in a bad mood or sick? No. I like get caught up with Netflix when I'm sick.

How old is your LO? 21 months

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? 1x most days, up to 3x but very short sessions.

Solids? always wants soy sauce on her rice lately, no matter if it's mexican or thai.

Questions/AW? my nips are hurting quite a bit when she latches lately, and sometimes i'll say "that hurts mommy, let's be all done with milk, ok?" and she'll usually say, "all done with milk, ok." the last few days she'll rub my arm and add, "you okay mommy?" it's sooooo cute.

GTKY: do you have a comfort movie/tv show/book that you've seen/read before but still turn to when you're in a bad mood or sick? not really. but i do have an electric throw blanket that i want to live under when i'm feeling meh.

DS is self-weaning. Which is what I want, but I'm still emotional about it. I'm ready to be done, but I'm not ready for my little baby to be so grown.

He didn't want to nurse tonight during stories and instead ate a box of raisins that he grabbed off the counter. The teeth brushing and drank water and wanted into his crib. Lately most nights if he hasn't been exhausted he's nursed, but been fine with me cutting things short. Overtiredness is a sure way for him to scream about not nursing. I'll ask him and offer, but he he doesn't want to nurse in the next week I think I'll stop offering and consider us weaned. And then to get Daddy involved in bedtime so I can leave to do things.

Hugs seamonster I imagine there's all kinds of mixed feelings with weaning. I've said it before but I'll say it again, I'm so impressed with how you've balanced your needs and LO's needs in your whole nursing relationship.

agm04 soooo cute with LO checking to make sure you're okay!
