How old is your LO?

Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing?

Solids?

Questions/AW?

What is one thing you've enjoyed about BF or providing BM to your older baby?

GTKY: when it comes to birthdays & birthday parties, I think ________ is overrated and ________ is underrated.

[mishka29]

How old is your LO? 1 year and a few days!

Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? Bfing morning and bedtime

Solids? Finally has her appetite back and isn't being so damn picky

Questions/AW? I finally figured out that the change in LO's poop was bc of dropping nursings during the day. Less bm has meant she's way more gassy as well. Hopefully she adjusts quickly.

What is one thing you've enjoyed about BF or providing BM to your older baby? It's an easy way to make her happy

GTKY: when it comes to birthdays & birthday parties, I think super fancy cakes that cost $$$ is overrated and simple parties are underrated

[seamonster]

How old is your LO? 11.5 months

Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? All three for the moment. Will drop to just nursing and formula for daycare after he turns 1 and then switch to wcm at daycare when the formula runs out.

Solids? 3 meals and 2 snacks. Increasing solids to prepare for dropping bottles.

Questions/AW? Anyone adding a multivitamin after 1 year? We'll still do vitamin D drops, but not sure if I should give multivitamin drops.

What is one thing you've enjoyed about BF or providing BM to your older baby? Boobs calm him down so fast when he's upset. I should probably figure out other ways to soothe.

GTKY: when it comes to birthdays & birthday parties, I think professional entertainment is overrated and delicious cake is underrated.

[kartish]

How old is your LO? 358 days old

Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? Nursing and pumping

Solids? Yep

Questions/AW?

What is one thing you've enjoyed about BF or providing BM to your older baby? I love the cuddle time, since it's one of the only time he is cuddly.

GTKY: when it comes to birthdays & birthday parties, I think ___favors___ are overrated and ___yummy cake____ is underrated.

[danitaec]

How old is your LO? 11m and some days

Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? Just frozen. We're gonna make it to one year! And then some...

Solids? Yep, lots of 'em

Questions/AW?

What is one thing you've enjoyed about BF or providing BM to your older baby? He loves it, and that makes me happy!

GTKY: when it comes to birthdays & birthday parties, I think __the whole thing honestly_ is overrated and __CAKE!!!___ is underrated. I only say it's overrated because my introverted/anxious self cringes at the thought of hosting a party of any sort.

[lilyelayne]

How old is your LO? - he'll be 11 months on Friday

Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? - nursing

Solids? - 3x a day, maybe a snack. I've been offering water between meals more often.

Questions/AW? - he suddenly got really consistent signing for milk. It's precious and I melt every time. Of course Sunday morning he saw DH without a shirt, touched his nipple, signed for milk, and got a little grumpy when it wasn't offered haha.

What is one thing you've enjoyed about BF or providing BM to your older baby? - the snuggles, as well as seeing him incorporate nursing into his day. Like when he needs calm time he'll snuggle all the way into me and let his eyes close, even if he's not sleepy, then when he's done it's right back to playing. Or if he's still playful he'll bring a toy or a book to hold while he nurses.

GTKY: when it comes to birthdays & birthday parties, I think _favors__ are overrated and __family photo opportunities__ are underrated.

I don't understand other people making a big deal about adults' birthdays. Like if you're really into your birthday, I'll be really into it with you. But I don't care about my birthday at all, so it's weird when someone wants to make it ALL ABOUT LILY'S BIRTHDAY. I mean, I'm glad you're thinking about me, but, uh, it's just a day? I get warm fuzzies just from "happy birthday" that's enough.

[krispy83]

How old is your LO? 1 year plus a few days

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

Solids? 3x a day

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

What is one thing you've enjoyed about BF or providing BM to your older baby? I love that as soon as we get home from daycare pickup she wants to BF. It's such a sweet few minutes to snuggle after being at work all day.

GTKY: when it comes to birthdays & birthday parties, I think ___Pinterest-based everything___ is overrated and __simple food and delicious cake__ is underrated.

[lilyelayne]

How old is your LO? Almost 11 months



Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? Nursing in the evening and at night



Solids? Yes, everything. We have yet to find something she won't eat at all.



Questions/AW?

seamonster, I haven't thought about adding multivitamins. Is that something you've been recommended? I think they're probably fine without them unless they eat a very non-varied diet.

lilyelayne, that is so sweet about the signing! I now wish I'd been more consistent with signing to DD.



What is one thing you've enjoyed about BF or providing BM to your older baby? I love that I can have a moment that's just ours, especially after a long day at the office.



GTKY: when it comes to birthdays & birthday parties, I think presents are overrated and cookies are underrated. Give me all the cookies!!


Edited: Tried to get rid of the quote box, but failed. I'm so used to the Tapatalk app, the desktop is throwing me off.

seamonster I'm already giving DS a multivitamin because he needed D & fluoride, ?and maybe iron? (though I doubt it), so his pedi Rx a multivitamin.

I double checked and his multivitamin doesn't have iron.

It's the one time she chills out long enough to snuggle
