1. How old is LO? 7 MOs 2.How is breastfeeding going? Breastfeeding is going well, although I worry about my supply. 3. How is pumping/work (if you are back to work)? Pumping is not good. I've never been able to pump quite enough to send to daycare but able to make it up by pumping at night a few nights a week. Recently, I have been pumping even less that it's hard to keep up even with pumping at night. Ugh. 4. Any short and/or long-term breastfeeding goals? Any goal updates? I would really like to keep sending pumped milk to daycare until 1 year and breastfeed at home for longer. I'm not worried about breastfeeding at home but I'm wondering if I'll be able to keep up with pumping. He's started solids at home but not at daycare (he only goes 2 days/week). Will he take less BM once he starts solids there? 5. How are nights? Not great. It's been worse recently but he did a little better last night so maybe we are at least going back to where we were before the latest regression. 6. Any teeth/signs of teething? I keep expecting to see one pop up any day now but nothing so far! 7. Questions/AW/Rant? See my pumping rants and questions. GTKY: Did you stay up until midnight to bring in the new year?

1. How old is LO? 3 months
2. How is breastfeeding going? Good!
3. How is pumping/work (if you are back to work)? I’m back at work tomorrow so we will see. I remember pumping with DD1 I started out strong but then my supply adjusted and while I usually got enough it didn’t always happen and I needed to get into my freezer stash.
4. Any short and/or long-term breastfeeding goals? Any goal updates? BF for at least 1 year. So I’m a 1/4 of the way!
5. How are nights? Awesome so far *knock on wood*. DD2 was hospitalized at 3 weeks for viral meningitis and after her hospital stay has slept straight through. She’s a night owl so we are trying to move it earlier.
6. Any teeth/signs of teething? She has little white bumps on her bottom gum but I don’t think it’s teeth. And she’s drooling a ton but DD1 did looooong before her first tooth.
7. Questions/AW/Rant? How long does milk stay good in a deep freezer/chest type unit
GTKY: Did you stay up until midnight to bring in the new year? No. I try to fall asleep as soon as the baby does.

1. How old is LO? 3.5 months
2. How is breastfeeding going? Great for the most part.
3. How is pumping/work (if you are back to work)? So far so good.
4. Any short and/or long-term breastfeeding goals? I'd like to go as long as I did with DS1, which was about 20 months I think.
5. How are nights? Nights were really good, he was waking to eat just one time. Then he got RSV, then he started daycare and everything is messed up. See below.
6. Any teeth/signs of teething? No.
7. Questions/AW/Rant? Transitioning to daycare is proving difficult for LO. He giving our provider a hard time with taking the bottles (we'd been giving him a bottle a day to get him used to bottles). It is getting slightly better but I'm really missing the one-wakeup nights now that I'm back to work. I'm sure I need to give it more time but it is still worrisome (and tiring).
GTKY: Did you stay up until midnight to bring in the new year? LOLNO

1. How old is LO? 4 months
2.How is breastfeeding going? Great. It got off to a rocky start, but we have hit a groove and I rarely feel completely empty/ that she isn't getting enough.
3. How is pumping/work (if you are back to work)?
It is impossible for me to consistently pump at work. I wind up pumping 2-3x over the course of 14ish hours that I am gone. I more or less wind up getting about the same amount of milk though (20-35 oz). I have a pretty good freezer stash that I don't have to tap into really.
4. Any short and/or long-term breastfeeding goals? Any goal updates? I'd love to continue until she is 1 year. I did this for 10 months with my second and 6 with my first. This time has been much easier, so I think I can do it. I don't want to stress about it though or have it be harder than it needs to be. Both times I quit it started to stress me out when I could barely pump enough at work, so I stopped mostly for my own sanity.
5. How are nights? Good. She goes to sleep around 9 and wakes up between 5 and 7 to eat.
6. Any teeth/signs of teething? Just the usual drooling, putting things in her mouth, rosy cheeks. I think she still has a month or so, but we shall see .
7. Questions/AW/Rant?
None really ATM. I'm getting nervous about an upcoming weekend away from her. I think if I can pump about 6x/day I should be ok. Thoughts?
GTKY: Did you stay up until midnight to bring in the new year?
I think I was up around 11:50 and passed out. We had some friends over, but they left well before midnight. We ended up doing the Netflix countdown with the kids.
