How old is baby? 9.5 I guess

How often are you nursing? Solids? Right now lots, LO is sick and less solids but usually 8ish and solids 3x

How are nights? Horrible. I hope LO fells better soon. I am thinking about slowly trying to night wean after the new year. Not sure if I will be able to go through with it though... LO would be 10 months then

How is pumping/nursing going? Nursing great. I don't pump

Q/rants/raves LO and I both have a bad cold so that is miserable. It's the first time she has been sick I hope we feel better soon we are flying back east Friday

GTKY: Who is the hardest person to shop for on your gift list? We always have such a hard time with H's grandparents. This year we have a baby and did a picture gift, which is also what we did when we got married but other than that. Impossible

How old is baby? 9.5 months

How often are you nursing? Solids? Nursing 8ish times a day and 1-3 overnight. Solids 3 times a day with a snack thrown in some afternoons.

How are nights? Up 1-3 times a night for less than 10 minutes each time.

How is pumping/nursing going? My supply took a big hit last week with a super horrible and heavy period. It's not recovering like I thought it would so I'm back to Lactation smoothies and oatmeal and hoping that helps.

Q/rants/raves: just working on fixing my supply

GTKY: Who is the hardest person to shop for on your gift list? My dad. His only real hobby is sailing and I can't just go buy random sailing stuff for him. He has most of it anyway. This year he got a smoker so I was able to get him a meat injector for it, but usually I'm stuck. He gets a lot of weird alcohol and fancy nuts.

Jumping back in...

How old is baby?
9 months

How often are you nursing? Solids?
Solids 2x/d, nursing was at 6x/d but a few days ago I caught a stomach bug and my supply really tanked, so we're at like 10x right now. Ugh.

How are nights?
The last few nights she has refused to go down until midnight, but before that she STTN (10-6) for about a 2 week stretch.

How is pumping/nursing going?
No pumping. Nursing was great until the bug, now I'm just over it.

Q/rants/raves
That 2 week stretch was when we moved her from solids 1x/d to 2x, so I'm thinking we will bump her to 3x after Christmas travels and see if it helps.

GTKY: Who is the hardest person to shop for on your gift list?
My ILs. They have everything they need/want and don't like knick-knacks. Thankfully this year they just asked for photos, but usually it's a guessing game.

How old is baby? 8.5 months

How often are you nursing? Often. He is a velcro baby and I stay home.
Solids? offering but he isnt really into it.

How are nights? bad. Since he started teething nights are rough. Some nights we are up every hour. We bedshare some that time and that helps some.

How is pumping/nursing going? Great.

Q/rants/raves I did recently got mastitis for the second time Which blows..
