Thanks waitwhat!

How old is LO? 5 1/2 months

How is breastfeeding going? Good!

How is pumping/work (if you are back to work)? Been pumping enough so good. Pump doesn't seem to be completely emptying me all of a sudden so I'm trying to troubleshoot that. Doing some manual expression after I finish pumping to prevent any impact to supply.

Any short and/or long-term breastfeeding goals? Any goal updates? We're only 2 weeks from 6 months old, and I was hoping to make it that far on breast milk only. Since I have a good amount in the freezer, even if I was to not pump enough at work the next couple weeks we have plenty to get us to 6 months.

How are nights? Good all of a sudden. He's either STTN from 8-9pm to 6-7am, or waking up once around 4am. Hoping it's the new normal and not a fluke!!

Any teeth/signs of teething? Nope.

Questions/AW/Rant? Just annoyed with my pump. I replaced membranes, boiled all the parts, and will now try different tubing. I'm trying everything before I think about upping the suction since that's not very comfortable.

GTKY: Are you happy Spring is coming? Or do you like Winter? I wouldn't mind one more good storm for my dog's sake (he LOVES snow), but I love going for walks in the warm but not hot weather.

How old is LO? 4 months today

How is breastfeeding going? Good, she eats on a pretty consistent schedule so I feel like my supply is pretty level. I

Any short term/long-term breastfeeding goals? I'd like to exclusively nurse until we introduce solids around 6-9months and then continue BFing until she self weans.

How are nights? She's sleeping about a 7 hour chunk so I'd say pretty darn good.

Any teeth/signs of teething? DH thought so but I don't. I think she's just slobbery because she discovered her tongue and likes to blow spit bubbles now.

GTKY: Are you happy spring is coming? Or do you like winter? SO SO SO happy to see winter over. I need sun, especially this year dealing with post-partum hormones. I've been an emotional mess the last few weeks and just feeling "meh" about everything. I think Spring arriving will help kick me out of this funk.
