How old is LO? About 4.5 months

How is breastfeeding going? Great. No hiccups in a while. He is really distracted while nursing lately, so NIP with an almost three year old running around is a huge challenge.

Do you have any short term/long term goals regarding breastfeeding? Long term goal is to nurse until 12 months, and let LO self wean. Pumping is another story. Last time I had to make weekly goals. I wanted to quit so bad.

How is pumping/work (if you are back to work)? Pumping once in the morning after he nurses. Going back to work on Monday

How are nights? Terrible. He was giving me 4 hour stretches for about a week. Now we are back to 1.5-2 hrs.

Any teeth/signs of teething? Not really. Lots of drool.

Questions/AW/Rant? Just very anxious about pumping at work. It was very difficult last time, and the circumstances aren't any better.

GTKY: What is your favorite holiday movie? I could watch Elf all the time!

DS is 5 months. BF and pumping are going well. He's a piggy and I'm able to keep up with him so I'm happy.

He has all the signs of teething but no teeth.

Nights have sucked since I came back to work 2 months ago. But we are surviving.

I want to make it to a year again since I did with ds1. So far so good but I am tired of it.

I love miracle on 34th street but we just watched home alone with ds1 and I have a newfound appreciation of it.

How old is LO? DD is 4.5 months

How is breastfeeding going? Good minus a random latch issue last week. I made an appt with an LC but it's resolved now.

Is this your first BFing experience? Yes
Do you have any short term/long term goals? 6 months then 1 year

How is pumping/work (if you are back to work)? I was planning to go back full time so I have about 400 ounces frozen but decided to go very part time (8 hours a week) so I'm planning to donate now.

How are nights? Good in the sense she sleeps once she's down (that's a different story) with 1 early am wake up between 4-6am

Any teeth/signs of teething? Maybe? Something was causing latch issues and that was my best guess.

Questions/AW/Rant? DD is a one sided eater so I pump the side she didn't take overnight. I've noticed a slight drop in this output the last week maybe something to do with the latch issue. Hoping it rebounds now.
