How many times per day does your LO nurse? Usually 1-2, sometimes more 3. Does your LO drink other milk besides breast milk? How did you introduce it? Wcm. Started at a year and she took it fine. 4. What's the weirdest thing you've used breast milk for? If you were trying to cure an ailment with it, did it work? I don’t think I’ve done anything besides give it to the kiddo. Pregnant & BFing Moms: How are you doing this week? Any issues with supply, pain, aversion? Questions for other moms? Still doing really well!!! No complaints! I’m happy with amount she’s nursing etc and just going to see what happens with whether I’ll tandem or not. I think I’ll let her lead the way. Non-BFing question of the week: What's the last thing your kid did that made you laugh out loud? I saw a picture of her from daycare. Her expression made me laugh. . Kind of right up in her face and somewhat confused.

1. How old is your LO? 13 months 2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? 7 (ish) 3. Does your LO drink other milk besides breast milk? How did you introduce it? She's had a few sips of wcm, but it isn't a regular thing. I put some in her sippy cups to offer in addition to water. She usually chooses water. 4. What's the weirdest thing you've used breast milk for? If you were trying to cure an ailment with it, did it work? I've put some on my own eczema on my hands. I was doing that at the same time as I changed to a more intense lotion, so I'm not sure which worked.
General update: I cut down to 2 pumping sessions, and we're burning through my freezer stash. I am going to reduce the amount of milk I send with her each day - I'll probably target the lunchtime feeding first. She still nurses 4 times a day in addition to the pumped milk she gets while I'm at work, and she's eating solids better than she was even a week ago. So I think this will work out. Thanks for the support in the last check-in to make that happen!
Non-BFing question of the week: What's the last thing your kid did that made you laugh out loud? She's in a clingy/dramatic phase. I find a lot of her drama funny - especially if she melts to the floor over absolutely nothing. But the other funny thing she's been doing recently is purposefully walking into the dog's tail while it's wagging. She'll laugh and shriek and do it over and over again.
