How old is baby? 9.5m

How often are you nursing? Solids? Every 2-4 hours

How are nights? Still rough. She's kicking around a lot until she wakes herself up if I don't rock her back to a deeper sleep.

How is pumping/nursing going? Really well at the moment.

Q/rants/cute stories: She's started coming to to me on the couch and puking at my shirt when she wants to eat or even just wants a snack. It's cute though I'm sure it'll get old quickly in public. Lol

GTKY: What's a go to YouTube channel you like? I like You Suck At Cooking. He's funny but they also help Ridley fall asleep. Double win.

Thanks for the check-in @led!

DD is 10.5 months

We nurse 5-6 times a day, solids 3x a day and adding in snacks now.

Nights are good! Occasionally she wakes to eat in the 5am hour.

AF returned with a vengeance this week so my supply is loooooow it seems. DD doesn't seem to care so for now, I'm just going to try to nurse through and hydrate hydrate hydrate. Hopefully it rebounds soon! I also am trying Mothers Milk Tea.

We survived our 3 day trip apart. She didn't drink much milk but seems unharmed.

GTKY: I don't watch a lot of YouTube unless I'm trying to learn how to do something.

How old is baby? 10 months today!

How often are you nursing? Solids? 4-5 times a day. 3 big meals and snacks.

How are nights? Pretty awful the last couple of weeks. I'm assuming it's a regression but man is it rough. He was such a good sleeper, going down without tears, sleeping through... now he's hard to get down and he wakes up screaming and will just call our names and fuss for ever.

How is pumping/nursing going? I don't pump too much anymore. He won't take bottles so I mostly have been using my stash in purées and oatmeal. He's less and less interested in nursing and is all about solids.

Q/rants/cute stories: nothing really haha

GTKY: What's a go to YouTube channel you like?
I don't really listen to YouTube much... really only if I want to look up a tutorial like using the moby or something 😂

How old is baby? 8.5 months

How often are you nursing? Solids? 3-4 times weekdays, lots more weekends. He eats 2-3 meals of solids

How are nights? Pretty good

How is pumping/nursing going? I have a plugged duct that will not go away, despite all the things I've found to do on google. Since Thursday afternoon. I've never had them last this long. At what point do I worry? Is it possible it's something else? Otherwise--well :/

Q/rants/cute stories: last night, MOTN, my H attempted to soothe because he woke earlier than normal. Ultimately I had to go in, and as baby settled into my arms to nurse, he threw the most hilarious shade look at my H. Like how dare you and also, haha, I got ii. Maybe only MOTN funny, but I'll take any funny at that time.

GTKY: What's a go to YouTube channel you like? I should ask my 3.5yo. She loves youtube.

I had what I thought was a plugged duct that I could get to clear up around 10 weeks pp. I finally called the doctor and they did an ultrasound on it and it was a cyst that pops up because of hormones (I forgot the name now). It went away few weeks later. It wasn't painful or tender.

This is very helpful, thank you

How old is baby? 7.5 months

How often are you nursing? Solids? don't even count, maybe like 5-6 times a day plus 1-2 at night. He only gets 1 jar of solids a day

How are nights? a crapshoot. But usually bad. 2-4 wakeups.

How is pumping/nursing going? it was great, I was pumping more than he ate for the past 4 months at work but just this week it's really dipped and I don't know why. I am eating and drinking all the same as before..?

Q/rants/cute stories: he started crawling this past weekend!

GTKY: What's a go to YouTube channel you like? don't watch any

Hey! I hope you don't mind me jumping in after a really long hiatus things got really busy with DD's allergies and constant adjustments to try and make her better I've been eliminating dairy since November, but since 2 weeks we've had to cut out all allergens. Now she's finally gaining a good amount of weight! We're starting reintroduction of different allergens slowly now.

How old is baby? 6 months since yesterday!

How often are you nursing? Solids? I think nursing 8 times a day, with 1 or 2 bottles of Neocate to supplement. We've tried introducing solids a number of times but her tummy doesn't like anything so far. It comes out as marbles, after a long of discomfort Hopefully once we pinpoint what her other trigger food(s) are we can introduce solids successfully.

How are nights? Still quite broken but better since we started the elimination diet. She'll nurse ever 3 hours round the clock.

How is pumping/nursing going? Nursing itself is going great, she's a fan of little and often, and reverse cycling. I've stopped pumping during work because it's just impossible with teaching, and have come to terms with the fact that this will further reduce my supply. As long as she can continue to nurse at least a few times per day I'll be happy. I think once she starts solids this will balance things out a bit.

Q/rants/cute stories: Is anyone else struggling with multiple suspected allergies or sensitive tummies? I'm working with a dietician but I still feel like we're just winging it trying to figure out what is ailing our kiddo or if she's just naturally complaining :/ Any shared experiences are really welcome!!!

GTKY: What's a go to YouTube channel you like? Errrrr... what? DS watches a lot of Dave & Ava, does that count?

[LadyNymeria]

How old is baby? I guess I go here now. DS turned 6 months on Monday.

How often are you nursing? Solids? When I'm home for the day, 8-ish times. Days I work in office, 3-ish times. We've recently started giving him bites of soft foods from our plates as well as jarred fruits.

How are nights? We had an awesome week or so followed by the past 4 crappy nights. Possibly teething related?

How is pumping/nursing going? Good. My right nipple gets really sore if I'm not careful about his position, so I've been being careful and it's been fine. Most days I pump as much if not more than he drinks so that's going well too. Days I don't pump enough have been covered by the other days I do.

Q/rants/cute stories: Nothing I can think of right now.

GTKY: What's a go to YouTube channel you like? Nothing. I mostly use YouTube to listen to music at work.
