How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? - typically nurse 4x a day and 2x MOTN, but we had a couple days this week where he nursed 5-6x during the day.

Solids? - 3 meals, 2 snacks. He's so proud of himself that he gets a spoon/fork now, though he's regressed with his plate manners

What's something your nursing toddler does that makes you laugh? - yesterday he refused to nurse without his new baseball hat on.

Questions/AW?


GTKY: what's your favorite rainy day activity, alone or with kids? - alone is read, sleep, play video games. I don't know if I have a favorite rainy day activity with G.

How old is your LO? He'll be 14 months on Thursday

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? One am, one pm, 5oz each time

Solids? Yep, he's mastered the straw as well, and loves drinking out of everyone else's drink

What's something your nursing toddler does that makes you laugh? I guess n/a, but he giggles when the sippy makes the "kissy" sound after he's drank for a while.

Questions/AW?

GTKY: what's your favorite rainy day activity, alone or with kids? Sleeping!

[lilyelayne]

danitaec haha love that he finds his cup funny. How much milk do you have left? I'm still amazed at your dedication & output!

[danitaec]

lilyelayne, I'm not really sure. It helps that he only uses 2 bags a day. I'd estimate maybe 6-8 weeks left? He's cool with almond, coconut, and soy milks so it shouldn't be an issue to switch. I'm proud of my bewbs! After BFing didn't work out, I'm so glad I stuck with the pumping.

How old is your LO? 13.5 months

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? 4-6x day

Solids? 3 meals, 2+ snacks. When DH is around he lets her graze nonstop.

What's something your nursing toddler does that makes you laugh? Unlatches after a few minutes to point to the boob and say "mek!" and then back to it. Like, "hey, look! I get milk!"

Questions/AW? nothing!

GTKY: what's your favorite rainy day activity, alone or with kids? Alone - sleeping or a hot bath. With DD - I guess baking for now, bc we both get cabin fever, but I'm really looking forward to cuddling up and watching Disney movies with her in the future! I'm in Houston, and we got major flooding yesterday, so my office was closed. Tried to work from home, but if DD knows I'm home, she only wants me, so I gave up and sent the au pair home and hung out with the babe. Would have loved to watch some Little Mermaid with her, but she's really not into TV yet.

danitaec I'm also crazy impressed that you had such a huge stash!
lilyelayne that picture is too cute!

[lilyelayne]

agm04 I forgot you're in Houston! Glad you're okay! Also so cute that LO declares she's getting milk. I look forward to when DS enjoys movies too. He'll watch a little now if it's got singing but he looks so zonked out that I don't know if he likes it or not

[kartish]

How old is your LO? 14 months

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? Map times and bedtime and MOTN

Solids? Yep, he actually ate mashed potatoes last night, before he has not been a fan.

What's something your nursing toddler does that makes you laugh? Lately when we are nursing hello shake his head, which means he wants me to shake mine, which makes my hair fall over and brush his face. Them he just giggles and then goes back to the boob.

Questions/AW? His nursing sessions are getting shorter, and they were never very long to begin with. Self weaning maybe?

GTKY: what's your favorite rainy day activity, alone or with kids? Alone I like to curl up with a book or watch movies. Lately on rainy days, V and I go to the children's museum.

[seamonster]

How old is your LO? 14 months

How often are you nursing / how often does LO get milk? 3-5 times during the day and at least once MOTN.

Solids?

What's something your nursing toddler does that makes you laugh? He'll bring me a muslin cloth when he wants to nurse and flings it down when he's done. I use the folded cloth to prop up my boob.

Questions/AW? DS is not that interested in nursing first thing in the morning. I press a quick session mainly because he still nurses overnight. Should I keep pressing until he night wean or let it go? On weekends he wants to nurse an hour after waking, but we need to leave by then during the week.

GTKY: what's your favorite rainy day activity, alone or with kids? It rains a lot here so other than not going to the playground or zoo it doesn't interfere with us going out.

kartish omg the hair thing is so sweet! Children's museum is on my 'to do' list now that I've calmed down about germs a little - seems like a great change of scenery!

[agm04]

seamonster I don't really know, but it seems like pushing the morning session might not help unless you force night weaning. Which I'm sure you don't want to do if you haven't already!
