Monthly Breastfeeding & Pumping Check-In - May

[nikiswimr]

Still going well. We generally nurse am/pm when I'm working or on demand on the weekends. On the weekends she asks every 3 hours or so ("mama, nana? Pwease?"). We don't nurse MOTN unless she's sick.

I love the cuddling/bonding and how much BF soothes her.

I don't pump at all (phew! I stopped at one year) and she's still not getting any WCM because I still have a ton of frozen milk.

All is going well. Who knew I would still be going strong at this point! During the work week (mon/sat) we are down to wake up, After work, and night time. Weekend is pretty much a boob free for all. Although she is probably just doing a midday nurse or two in addition to the others so really we are down quite a lot.
We do wcm. I don't really know how much. A couple times a day but who knows how much she drinks. She asks to nurse by making a grabby motion with her hands or a sucky mouth face or ripping my shirt open 😳😳

Things are good here. During the work week we just nurse in the morning, before bed, and sometimes after work. On weekends it's on demand but usually not more than 4 times. He asks but signing for milk, I'd tugging on my shirt if he's desperate.

nikiswimr, I'm so impressed your dd says please! We definitely need to work on our manners over here.

I only pump when I travel (and then just twice a day) but I would love to give that up soon too. I get pretty full by the end of the day, though, and I want to keep my supply up enough so that we can keep nursing. So i don't know.
