GTKY: How was your Mother's Day?

[melody330]

How old is baby? 9.5 months

How often are you nursing? Solids? Maybe 5-7x during the day, 1-2x overnight. Solids are whenever. Most of the time it's 3x/day with some snacks. He loves to eat.

How are nights? Inconsistent. He's got at least 8 teeth and more are coming. The past few nights have been horrible.

How is pumping/nursing going? Pumping is still the same. Not going well at all. I pump at 4am (2oz), twice at work (3oz total), and once before bed (MAYBE 1oz). B drinks 8 oz per day so I'm not keeping up. Pedi said once he turns 10 months old I can supplement with WCM if it's only 1-2oz. My freezer stash is about to die so that will be our near future.

Q/rants/cute stories: he's starting to sign milk which is adorable.

GTKY: How was your Mother's Day? It was okay- B had a terrible night and the kids were up early, but I got to go back to sleep for a few hours. We don't make a big deal about Mother's Day.

How old is baby? 8 months

How often are you nursing? Solids?
Nursing on demand with 2-3 meals per day

How are nights?
It's been challenging to get her down lately due to teeth but once I get her to sleep, she only wakes up once.

How is pumping/nursing going? Pumping is good. The boy I've been pumping for turned one so now I'm pumping for a little girl who's mom is having trouble pumping enough at work. I'm thankful I have enough of a surplus to bless these other families.

Q/rants/cute stories: So I had a clogged duct which may have cleared or may just be stuck in my nipple in the form of a milk blister because I'm having a good bit of nipple pain. I guess if I get mastitis I'll have my answer.

GTKY: How was your Mother's Day? Busy but good

How old is baby? E will be 7 months next week

How often are you nursing? Solids? still pumping a lot, she is getting cereal in the morning and some vegetable in the afternoon

How are nights? We transitioned her to her crib finally and it's going well ( which means I am jinxing tonight)

How is pumping/nursing going? Pumping is going ok. I finished all the domperidone I had. I am probably going to start weaning pumping in June.

Q/rants/cute stories: Nothing in particular

GTKY: How was your Mother's Day? It was nice. Bittersweet.
