1. 2.5
2. 2-4+
3. Maybe 12 hours... only if she slept through the night...
4. DD has so many food allergies. I've had to give up all of them. A few she's gained back and she tolerates, I don't anymore. We'll probably stop nursing before she outgrows everything, but I still plan to follow her diet for solidarity and all that. I'm as scared to reintroduce some things (dairy, soy, legumes) for me as for her.

QOTW: Eventually I'll find time to watch Black Panther and Ocean's 8 when it comes to amazon. See also Isle of Dogs and Mr. Rogers.

3. What's the longest your LO has gone without asking to BF? Other than at night, she has gone from 6am to 1 or 2pm, depending on circumstances. That's becoming more common.
