How old is LO? 6 months next Monday!! (Thanks waitwhat for offering to take over the check-in starting next week)

How is breastfeeding going? Good. The right nipple pain comes and goes though. It's weird, my left nipple has no issues at all, but the right seems to get chapped almost then hurts until it goes back to normal.

How is pumping/work (if you are back to work)? Still pumping what he's drinking so I'd say good. Except for Friday when we got so busy with a last minute client request I missed my 3rd pumping session of the day. Was not happy about that.

Any short and/or long-term breastfeeding goals? Any goal updates? Almost to my first goal of 6 months without having to supplement!

How are nights? Still been good this week. If he falls asleep earlier than 8pm, I've been waking him up around 8pm for one last diaper change and nursing session and that seems to be helping him STTN. Really hoping that's the trick. I'd rather deal with a grumpy baby for a few minutes at 8pm if that means he's going to STTN!!

Any teeth/signs of teething? Not that I can tell. Chewing fingers and drooling is clearly not just a teething sign for my little dude.

Questions/AW/Rant? A mom on my BMB offered up her Spectra to the group. I jumped on that quick and I'm excited to see if I like it better than my Medela.

GTKY: Anything you're looking forward to this week? This week there's nothing special going on, but I'm counting down the days until St Patrick's Day next week!!

How old is LO? 4 months (almost 18 weeks)

How is breastfeeding going?
Good.

How are nights? We had a rough week last week but the last two nights have been much better.

Any teeth/signs of teething? Nope

Questions/AW/Rant? It is so hard not to compare Hazel to other babies her age. We have a friend who's LO is already rolling and is actually 2 weeks younger than Hazel. I try to remember that she should only be 3 months so it's normal for her to seem behind when she isn't, but I've never been in this situation before.

GTKY: Anything you're looking forward to this week? We are big supporters of the local high school basketball team (DH and I both went there, our kids are in the elementary of that district, and his cousin plays) and they play in the super-sectional game tomorrow. If they win, they'll be in the state finals. It's a huge deal for our small town and very exciting.

E is 4 months old

E is still refusing the breast. Sigh...

Pumping is going well. I am getting almost 2 oz now. I'm still waiting for my domperidone to arrive.

No goals yet. I want to get to at least 6 months of pumping


Qotw: nothing really

How old is LO? 5 months last Monday

How is breastfeeding going? Good

How is pumping/work (if you are back to work)? Home until he's a year old

Any short and/or long-term breastfeeding goals? Any goal updates?
Hoping to make it to a year. Nothings changed

How are nights? Up every 2 hours will only go back down with the boob.

Any teeth/signs of teething? I think... two buds but who knows when they will actually come out.
