For the purposes of this check-in, we will define extended breastfeeding as breastfeeding beyond 1 year. Questions are repeated and suggestions are appreciated! 1. How old is your LO? 2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? 3. Does your LO drink other milk besides breast milk? How did you introduce it? 4. What is your favorite nursing position for a toddler? Pregnant & BFing Moms: How are you doing? Any issues with supply, pain, aversion? Questions for other moms? Tandem Nursing Moms: How are you doing? Any current challenges? Questions for other moms? Non-BFing question: What is the dumbest way you've been injured?

1. How old is your LO? 13.5 months 2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? 1-5 times. Lately he either doesn't want to nurse at all, or wants to keep nursing over and over... 3. Does your LO drink other milk besides breast milk? How did you introduce it? He drinks WCM sometimes at home. We switched cold turkey after his first birthday. He drinks as much WCM as he used to drink BM at daycare but I can't get him to drink much consistently at home. I have tried all kinds of vessels and he is very fickle with them all. I think he might still use bottles at daycare so I might try that at home. Is there a timeframe when he shouldn't be using a bottle? 4. What is your favorite nursing position for a toddler? Side-lying at the crack of dawn. He tolerates it for that feeding but he likes using the Boppy.
Non-BFing question: What is the dumbest way you've been injured? I'm lucky not to have had any major injuries but I am clumsy and run into this all the time and have a lot of small scars all over.

1. How old is your LO? 16 months 2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? 4-6 3. Does your LO drink other milk besides breast milk? How did you introduce it? She doesn't right now - I've offered her some in the past, but for now she just eats cheese and yogurt. 4. What is your favorite nursing position for a toddler? We still use somewhat the same position as when she was little - its kind of laid-back nursing but she's diagonal/cross-body.
Non-BFing question: What is the dumbest way you've been injured? When I was 8 months pregnant with DD, I missed the last stair on my way down to the basement and my whole weight came down on the top of my big toe. It was a lot of weight to have come down on my poor toe - I had a killer bruise there for a long while.

1. How old is your LO? 14 months 2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? 4 times, right after waking up, before naps and bedtime. 3. Does your LO drink other milk besides breast milk? How did you introduce it? Wcm, straw cup at 10 months. He doesn't know how to use a non-straw cup. I should work on that eh? 4. What is your favorite nursing position for a toddler? He only nurses one way, thankfully. Cross cradle.
Non-BFing question: What is the dumbest way you've been injured? I tried breaking up a dog fight and managed to get bit. The dog crushed my hand... Stupidest thing I have ever done.

1. How old is your LO?2.5 2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? 1-2, sometimes more. 3. Does your LO drink other milk besides breast milk? How did you introduce it? 4. What is your favorite nursing position for a toddler? 95% of the time we nurse lying down in bed because i mostly nurse her at bedtime and before nap. A few times this week she has randomly asked to nurse on the couch and we do cross cradle. it was a nice change.
Pregnant & BFing Moms: How are you doing? Any issues with supply, pain, aversion? Questions for other moms? Still doing great! 33 weeks. no problems.
Non-BFing question: What is the dumbest way you've been injured? when I was about 4, i got in trouble and was told to stand in the corner. out of curiosity, i put my nose in the door and shut it.... yeah.
