Do we still want a weekly check in?

1) Number of nursing/pumping sessions
2) How is WCM going?
3) Has anyone said anything to you about nursing past 1 year?  (it could be something positive or negative)
3) What did you do over the long weekend?

[fish8412]

1) Number of nursing/pumping sessions
1 or 2. If I miss a session, I don't pump. I was worried I would be engorged, but I'm not.

2) How is WCM going?
Still using the deep freezer stash for bottles. Deep freezer is half empty, maybe a little more. I want to slowly introduce WCM so I need to look into what kind I should buy.

3) Has anyone said anything to you about nursing past 1 year? (it could be something positive or negative)
One of my girlfriends asked me if I still nurse and I said yes at wake up and bedtime and she was like "Wow that is awesome!". She has a 13 month old and couldn't keep up with it past 9 or 10 months. She said she wished she was still nursing.

3) What did you do over the long weekend?
Went to a wedding at the beach! So much fun but still exhausted!

1) Number of nursing/pumping sessions
Seems LO cut down to 3 on her own this week.
2) How is WCM going?
It's not!! I even tried chocolate milk JUST to see if shed take it. Nope.
3) Has anyone said anything to you about nursing past 1 year? (it could be something positive or negative)
Just had a couple people ask and say something like "that's great!" when I said yes.
3) What did you do over the long weekend? Lots of outdoor time with DH and LO. It was great!

fish8412, I was so proud of myself earlier today for remembering that I tomorrow was Tuesday and I was going to start the tatas thread. I think we all see where this is going.

I'm still in for a weekly check in as long as a few others want to do it.

1) Number of nursing/pumping sessions
3, sometimes 4 if he gets up MOTN.

2) How is WCM going?
Great! He had no trouble with it at all. He takes about 10-12 oz a day on top of the three nursing sessions.

3) Has anyone said anything to you about nursing past 1 year? (it could be something positive or negative)
My parents were visiting last week and Mom asked me when I was going to wean him. I thought it sounded a little judgey, but I told her that I was going to let him lead the process.

4) What did you do over the long weekend?
On Saturday we went to the zoo and harvested our garlic (and LO faceplanted on the patio and got a bloody nose), Sunday MH was sick so we stayed in, and on Monday we did some housekeeping.

I'm still up for a check in. I think there are only a few of us remaining though.

1) Number of nursing/pumping sessions
Two. Morning and bedtime.

2) How is WCM going?
Good. She get's 3 5oz sippys a day. Sometimes she finishes it all and takes more, sometimes she doesn't finish. She's more likely to drink all of it if it's not cold.

3) Has anyone said anything to you about nursing past 1 year? (it could be something positive or negative)
Every time I see my mom she says "so did you stop nursing yet?". I don't really think she's trying to be negative about it, just nosy, which gets annoying. I think the rest of the people in my life either assume we've stopped or don't really care to ask/talk about it. I feel like I generally have a don't-ask-don't-tell kinda attitude because the reaction would be a "ooh, you're still doing that? that's...interesting..." with a sorta side-eye.

3) What did you do over the long weekend?
Wen't to our summer house with family and friends.

I just got back from a failed bra shopping trip. It looks like all of my bras will have to be bought over the internet from now on. I'm currently a DDD and most stores don't carry them in anything but those massive boxed bras from Playtex.

1. One nursing session at wake up
2. Wcm is going fine. How much she drinks varies each day, but it's always been under our pedis max of 18 oz. Some days she downs it, other days she just sips it.
3. I haven't had any comments recently. When LO was 8 months, my sil said "you're still nursing?!" I just said yes, and left it alone.
My LC did congratulate me on making it a year when I asked her for weaning advice.
4. We went to a BBQ at the in laws Saturday and just hung around the other two days. It was really nice.

1. We are currently nursing 4 times a day. I think she is trying to self-wean bc our sessions went from 15 minutes per side to 3 minutes per side almost over night. My supply is really low so I feel like my milk is changing. She also pulls away and makes a sound that says she doesn't like the taste (same sound that she makes in the highchair when she eats something she doesn't like).

2. I'm about to start the transition from skim milk to WCM. I have just been making sure she has really taken to milk bf I make any changes.

3. My mom has said something about me weaning her. She is pro BF but not really if you kwim.

4. I didn't do anything this past weekend. It was so boring. My H is studying for a big test next week and he was busy with that.

I had an acupuncture appointment today and was talking to the (male) practitioner about breastfeeding. He told me that the parts of the baby's face that touch your chest when you are nursing are the areas of the face that are associated with soothing and calming. It makes sense but I thought that was a fun little fact and it makes me feel even better about bfing!

Hi! I've been busy but hope to be here more

1) I nurse in the am and pm and only pump if I miss. I'm over it. She's a quick nurser though so it's like 5-15 min each session

2) I chose to not do wcm and I do almond milk. She likes it. She likes bm more and boobs best. But she drinks it's 2x a day and gets one frozen bag from my dwindling stash during the day

3) yes. People are super negative to me here in NYC. A lot of why are you still doing it. You've got to stop that. Etc. I just smile and ignore. But I hate it

4) we just hung out. It was nice

 I'm sorry you have to deal with that!  I can't believe someone would tell you to stop.  What biotches.
