[kaydee0402]

How old is your LO? 10 months, three (almost four) weeks.

Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? Just nursing and pumping now

Solids? Three square meals a day and two snack times.

Questions/AW? February 1 marks the beginning of weaning. I'm so sad and nervous. But I'm excited to get my body back.

What are you doing with your pump once you're done with it? BURN BABY BURN! Just kidding. Saving it for baby number two.

GTKY: you have 10 minutes of free time- no kids, no chores, etc. what do you do with it? What about 90 minutes? 10 minutes? Zone out and flip through a magazine. 90 minutes? Read a book. Take a nap. Watch something that's not on Disney Junior. Take a yoga class. Or go get my nails done.

[agm04]

How old is your LO?  11 months 

Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? nursing and pumping

Solids? 3x a day, sometimes 1-2 snacks too.

Questions/AW? My boobs really hurt. I think I might be ovulating. I said this to my sister, and she asked if I might be pregnant. After I got done laugh-crying (because we don't have sex, like ever), I said no.

What are you doing with your pump once you're done with it? Thanking it for its dedicated service and storing it for round 2!

GTKY: 10 mins: shove chocolate in my face. 90 mins: in theory i'd nap, take a bath, read a book, or watch trashy tv. in reality, i'm paralyzed by indecision and spend the entire time trying to decide what my top priority is.

[lilyelayne]

How old is your LO? - ~10.5 months

Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? - nursing

Solids? - 3x a day. Occasionally a snack if I'm snacking. Some puffs if I'm trying to learn a new back carry & he's being wriggly haha.

Questions/AW? - I still haven't gotten my period (yay) but I did start taking calcium+magnesium. It seems to have helped a ton with my slow let down, especially later in the day/night, so maybe I was having hormonal supply dip.

What are you doing with your pump once you're done with it? - unsure. It's an Ameda Purely Yours so a closed system, theoretically someone else could use it. We don't intend to TTC for another year or two, so that seems a long time to store it.
I should check to see if Ameda has a recycling program. Several pump companies do!

GTKY: you have 10 minutes of free time- no kids, no chores, etc. what do you do with it? What about 90 minutes? -
10 min: lay down on my bed or outside in the hammock with my eyes closed.
90 min: go get my nails done, read a book, or play a video game

[mishka29]

How old is your LO? She'll be 1 on the 28th!

Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? BFing morning and night. Although when she was sick this weekend I threw in a lot of extra day feeds.

Solids? Small appetite right now bc she's sick

Questions/AW? Nah

What are you doing with your pump once you're done with it? I tried to sell it. So far no takers.

GTKY: you have 10 minutes of free time- no kids, no chores, etc. what do you do with it? What about 90 minutes?

10 min - sit on my butt.
90 mins - maybe a nap but probably sit on my butt and watch tv while eating snacks I don't want to share lol

[danitaec]

How old is your LO? 11 months, 4 days

Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? Just frozen. We're gonna make it past one year!

Solids? Yep, 3x a day plus snacks. Got a dairy-free cake in the works for his birthday. He also is loving almond and coconut milk yogurts, which makes me happy since he can't have the "real" stuff.

Questions/AW?

What are you doing with your pump once you're done with it? It's packed away in the bag I always carried it around in. I'm not sure what I want/need to do with it.

GTKY: you have 10 minutes of free time- no kids, no chores, etc. what do you do with it? What about 90 minutes? 10 minutes - nothing! 90 minutes - a nap for part of it (I'm a catnapper), then maybe read a book? I do miss reading.

Solids? 3 meals/day plus one snack; allergy list has increased to dairy, egg, and peanut

GTKY: you have 10 minutes of free time- no kids, no chores, etc. what do you do with it? Waste time on Facebook or something
What about 90 minutes? This is actually something that might happen? :-) Sleep!

[michelle142]

How old is your LO?
11 months

Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing?
Mostly just nursing at this point. I'm down to 1 pumping session at work.

Solids?
She eats everything

Questions/AW?
When is everyone planning to call it quits?

What are you doing with your pump once you're done with it?
I'll probably donate it. There are organizations that will take used pumps for parts/3rd world countries, etc.

GTKY: you have 10 minutes of free time- no kids, no chores, etc. what do you do with it? What about 90 minutes?
10 minutes - pee in peace
90 minutes - read, watch tv, be lazy

[lilyelayne]

michelle142 hoping to nurse til 2, or whenever one of us is ready to stop. I kinda doubt DS will make it til 2, but he could surprise me.

[kartish]

How old is your LO? 11 months and a few weeks

Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? Nursing and pumping.

Solids? Yes, the times a day with the occasional snack.

Questions/AW? michelle142 I'm planning on nursing only on demand following his birthday, but I get the feeling that once I go to that, my supply will tank, so I don't see us making it to 18 months. But we'll see.

What are you doing with your pump once you're done with it? Probably donate it. But I may hang on to it for a bit. I'd really like to smash it with a hammer, but will resist.

GTKY: you have 10 minutes of free time- no kids, no chores, etc. what do you do with it? What about 90 minutes? Ten minutes, play with my phone. 90 minutes. Take a nap or work on a project. Get a massage or a pedicure if I had the money.

[agm04]

michelle142 i second what lilyelayne said. until 2 or one of us is over it.

[seamonster]

How old is your LO? 11 months

Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? Vacation is over so it's back to all 3. I'm only pumping once a day for now.

Solids? 3 meals and 2 snacks.

Questions/AW? 3 Mondays from now I'll be an extended breastfeeder. Would not have thought this was possible for me in the early days.

What are you doing with your pump once you're done with it? Probably keep it as a backup for kid 2. Plan to try a spectra with that one. I'm dropping pumping at 1 year and then finishing out our formula container before switching to wcm.

GTKY: you have 10 minutes of free time- no kids, no chores, etc. what do you do with it? Internet What about 90 minutes? Mostly Internet. Nap, read, or color otherwise.

[krispy83]

Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? Nursing and pumping

Solids? 3 meals a day plus an occasional snack

Questions/AW? Made it to a year!!!

What are you doing with your pump once you're done with it? Probably donate it.

GTKY: you have 10 minutes of free time- no kids, no chores, etc. what do you do with it? What about 90 minutes? 10 min - take a shower. 90 min - read while getting a pedicure, then a nap.

[krispy83]

michelle142, I'll stop pumping soon and just nurse on demand until she's done. DS nursed until about 16 months. Hoping she'll go to around then.

[seamonster]

michelle142, I'm pumping once a day until he turns 1 and then I'll wean from that pump because I'm tired of pumping at work. I'll nurse him on demand after that and start completely weaning in May to be done by the end of June. I'm giving him until 13 months to drop MOTN feeds or we'll night wean.

I don't think he'll wean himself completely. Bedtime nursing is his favorite. Need to switch things around as part of sleep training.

How long are you taking to wean from the pump? I'm pumping twice a day until next week, then I guess I'll move to once a day but I'd like to be done sooner rather than later.

I'm going to take a week. When we came back from vacation I just went back to once a day rather than 3 times a day like I was doing before we left. It's so time consuming.

Night after I offer a friend the boxes of unused nursing pads I have, I start leaking at early morning wake-up. Haven't needed a nursing pad for leaking in almost 9 months. WTF boobs.
