1. 19 months

2. 3-5

3. "Do You Want to Nurse? Yea!!" Her current favorite word is yea which makes me laugh.

23 weeks and things are going good. No issues or questions this week.

I'm pretty sure I would be a terrible counselor.

Sorry I'm late, y'all mind me joining in? I used to do these check ins when my son was still nursing, until he self weaned at 15 months. He's 3 now. Now my daughter is just shy of 15 mos, and I think she's going to keep nursing for quite some time!

1. How old is your LO? Almost 15 months
2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? 3-4 times during the day, and 2-3 times during the night.
3. What would you title this chapter in your breastfeeding journey? "Weaning is for quitters, and quitters don't get boobies"
4. What is your LO's name for nursing? She pulls on my shirt and says "mama" and she tries to say "nurse"
Pregnant & BFing Moms: How are you doing this week? Any issues with supply, pain, aversion? Questions for other moms?

Tandem Nursing Moms: How are you doing this week? Any current challenges? Questions for other moms?

Non-BFing question of the week: What job would you be terrible at? Being a grocery store cashier. I know from lived experience. Luckily I'm a Christian minister now.
