Hooray for Tatas!

How's it going ladies?

Molars can suck it. J comfort nursed all weekend and now I'm engorged in half of righty and I can't find a nursing position that helps. We've tried side by side, cradle and cross cradle. He's too big for football but maybe I'll try to find a way to make it work.

Today I had an awards ceremony in the afternoon so I wore a cute dress with what I thought was a conservative V-neck. Well, it was at 9am. By 3pm I was rocking some major cleavage. Oh boobies, you are so crazy.

fishbulb How many molars does LO have? My LO's top 2 molars have been coming in for about a week. She isn't nursing any extra but when she does nurse she bites every now and then. Ouch. Have you tried side lying nursing?

[fishbulb]

fish8412, biting is the worst! I know they don't mean anything by it but OW.

J only has one molar in right now (lower right) but is working on the lower left. He's also getting his right lateral lower incisor. He's been a little bitey lately too, more that he can't get his teeth out of the way than straight out biting though.

ETA: Side lying nursing did finally help, thanks!

Hi!

I only have 4 teeth w our lo but she's working on something. Def not a molar. Yet!

I officially stopped pumping at work. It makes me antsy but I just don't have it in me anymore. I pump about 5oz in the am and still nurse. Then I nurse at night. She gets about 2/3 bm and 1/3 almond milk each day. I have a freezer stash (albeit it's so small for me!) so she will have some bm until 15 months I think. I will nurse as long as I can depending on how this pregnancy goes

Nothing else to report. She's sick. It stinks. She has a cold or bronchitis etc. I haven't taken her to the doc because she's seemingly fine. Just congested. If she's not better by Friday I will take her Friday. My doc isn't an antibiotics fan and I figure since she's acting fine eating fine and sleeping fine she can fight it? Is that naive?

DD has 4 top teeth and 2 on the bottom, but no molars yet. Not looking forward to that...

Nursing is pretty much the same as it's been for a month now. Just morning and bedtime sessions. DD loves WCM, but will only drink large amounts in 1 particular sippy. If it's in anything else she'll only take about an oz at a time.

jtizzay , my doc isn't big on antibiotics either. She said there was actually just a study done that showed kids who had multiple courses of antibiotics as infants were more prone to childhood obesity, which I thought was interesting. I don't think it's naive to give a cold/cough a chance to run its natural course.

[sanibel21]

Still nursing 3-4 times a day.
SHE WILL NOT DRINK WCM. Or 2%. Or watered down milk.
I still don't know what I want to do about nursing in general. So I just keep going. If she was drinking cows milk I'd be more inclined to wean more.

jtizzay I agree as long as acting eating sleeping and peeing normal, no fever, keep watching her!

[jtizzay]

Thanks ladies. My nanny disagrees but I just don't care.

sanibel21 are you giving it in a bottle or sippy? I found that b will take milk from a bottle now but before would only do a sippy.

[sanibel21]

jtizzay, she sometimes took it from a bottle while we were away when she first turned one. Then we started giving it in a sippy and she has refused. We tried t back in a bottle at bedtime the other night and she refused. I guess I don't want to go back to a bottle but maybe I should try a bottle during the day again.
Good luck!! I think your US is like right now??

[jtizzay]

Weird. Kids are so weird!!!!

My us was not definitive. There's a sac. Maybe the start of an embryo. Not definitive. More bw needed and another u/s next week. So not a no but not an all clear by any stretch

[fish8412]

jtizzay I think you are right in waiting to take LO to the doctor. As long as she is eating, sleeping, and acting normal!

This!

E nurses 5-6 times a day. She still loves her snuggles. We are still successfully weaned from nursing to sleep and her sleep has never been better! She can sit straight up during a nap and lay back down and sleep for another hour sometimes.

I have only had success with skim milk in one if those toss and go sippy cups. It is super messy though. I figure I will work my way up to WCM. I just need her to accept milk that doesn't come from me. It seems like a slow struggle that is never ending.

jtizzay, I hate that you're going through this. Hopefully the blood work will be fine and the next appointment will give you some real answers.
