How old is your LO?

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? once a day nursing (very short lately), milk 3-4x/day

Solids? on an orange kick right now. she had ice cream in front of the fire last night. so cute.

Questions/AW? i'm seriously fighting back tears when she latches. the other night i took a bath before she nursed, and that seemed to help the pain a lot.

What's something you're looking forward to about post-weaning? hopefully a short BF break before the next babe arrives!

GTKY: I got nothing. What's something you're looking forward to this week? more house organizing! my label maker is getting a workout.

How old is your LO? 23 months

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? 0. We're weaned for sure and DS isn't even bothering to ask as a delay tactic (the freedom of the toddler bad is a better tactic for him)

Solids? Clementines are big. And rice sticks. Probably that I grabbed coconut ones instead of plain to bribe him with while we shopped.

Questions/AW? No more nursing. Now if my toddler would just stop trying to look down my shirt and stretching out my collars (no one knows what he wants, but it's not milk)

What's something you're looking forward to about post-weaning? Wine at dinner without having to worry about bedtime nursing is freeing

GTKY: I got nothing. What's something you're looking forward to this week? H has to travel overnight this week so I'm looking forward to an evening of catching up on Netflix and doing my nails.

agm04 sounds like a good excuse for a relaxing bath every evening! I wonder if a warm compress over your nipple before nursing would do the same thing.

seamonster congrats again!! I know a fair amount of weaned toddlers/preschoolers who still stick their hands down mom's shirt or just under the collar to hold onto her bra strap for comfort.

How old is your LO? - 22.5mo

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? - 4-5/day

Solids? - we've been slacking and letting him have way too many sweet things lately. He got to try milkshake on Sunday, and I'm pretty sure it's his favorite thing ever.

Questions/AW?

What's something you're looking forward to about post-weaning? - I've been rolling around the possibility that when I get pregnant (hopefully this year) G doesn't wean. I figured since we're spacing the next one ~3 years after G, tandem nursing wouldn't be anything I'd have to consider. But now I wonder if post-weaning will be during pregnancy. Or closer to the year 2020.

GTKY: I got nothing. What's something you're looking forward to this week? - bible study on Friday

lilyelayne,seamonster i don't blame him - milkshakes are so good! now i want one. and yes the warm compress is probably a good idea. last night i massaged my breast a little while DH read DD a book, and that seemed to help just a little bit too. she's gotten lazy with her latch i think. anyway we'll be fine. i'm headed to vegas in a couple of weeks for work, and i'm hoping that a couple nights of bed time without me might get us over the hump of NEEDING to nurse before bed.

seamonster those solo evenings once LO is in bed are incredibly relaxing! even if i never really know what to do with myself. ha.
