Nursing & KU ~ Check-In 5/8

[Sparkly]

Are you breastfeeding while pregnant? This check-in is for you! Introduce yourself and let's make it a weekly thing! I will usually post on Thursdays, but I forget yesterday.


1. How old is your nursling?

2. How are things going? Any changes since your BFP?

3. How are you feeling about continuing to nurse through pregnancy and beyond? Do you plan to wean at some point or eventually tandem nurse?

4. GTKY: What was your original BFing goal?

I can talk to myself. Who works at 5PM on Friday, am I right?

1. How old is your nursling? 17 months on the 19th

2. How are things going? Any changes since your BFP? Going okay. She wants to nurse all.the.time right now and her latch/teeth on my sensitive nips...ugh. I'm having a little aversion to nursing at times, just want her to be done quickly. I'm crabby in general, though so that's part of it.

3. How are you feeling about continuing to nurse through pregnancy and beyond? Do you plan to wean at some point or eventually tandem nurse? Good so far. I love the idea of tandem nursing and started wanting to do it after I met a friend IRL who was. I ordered a book on Amazon and it should be here today or tomorrow. I'm excited to read it.

4. GTKY: What was your original BFing goal? 1 year... quickly changed to 2/however long she wants, then let's get KU again and tandem nurse!

1. How old is your nursling? He turned 17 months on the 5th.

2. How are things going? Any changes since your BFP? My nipples hurt like hell and his latch is often more shallow now and his teeth hurt like hell. I want to cry every time he nurses now.

3. How are you feeling about continuing to nurse through pregnancy and beyond? Do you plan to wean at some point or eventually tandem nurse? I'm ready to wean. I was hoping all those stories about the little one self-weaning when Mom got KU again would be true for me. It's not. My boy is a boob addict. I have no interest in tandem nursing.

4. GTKY: What was your original BFing goal? 1 year. I was completely unsuccessful breastfeeding my first 2 babies.

1. My dd is 15 months and nurses once or twice a day.
2.It's fine. I don't think she's getting what she wants because she's still signing for milk after she's tried both sides.
3. I figure we will probably be done soon. I'm not terribly interested in nursing a 2yo and I'd like my boobs back for a little while before #3 comes along. I'm letting her decide though.

4. My goal was always a year and we just barely made it. My pumping supply was terrible the past 6 weeks and we started am a few weeks early. We kept with morning and bedtime, now we just do bedtime if she asks.
