Trying to get back onto the Thursday schedule! 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. What was it like the very first time you nursed your LO? 4. Have you read any books about BFing that you thought were particularly helpful? Pregnant & BFing Moms: How are you doing this week? Any issues with supply, pain, aversion? Questions for other moms? Tandem Nursing Moms: How are you doing this week? Any current challenges? Questions for other moms? Non-BFing question of the week: What do you wear on an average day hanging around at home?

1. How old is your LO? 2.5 2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? 0-2 3. What was it like the very first time you nursed your LO? DS2 latched on right away like he knew exactly what to do. i felt so happy and relieved after the latching struggles DS1 and i had. 4. Have you read any books about BFing that you thought were particularly helpful? i really like Sweet Sleep: Nighttime and Naptime Strategies for the Breastfeeding Family, by la leche league. but as far as a general overview and source of practical info on all things BFing, i don't think there's a book that can beat kellymom. they should make the site into a book!
Pregnant & BFing Moms: How are you doing this week? Any issues with supply, pain, aversion? Questions for other moms? DS2 is still asking to nurse, although a lot of the time he's done after just a couple of seconds. i'm not enjoying it too much but i'm trying to go with the flow.
Non-BFing question of the week: What do you wear on an average day hanging around at home? I am so into sweatpants right now-- jogger style. t-shirt and hoodie and either sneakers or boots depending on the weather. i just want to be comfortable! i do wear that out, though. if i'm truly not leaving the house i might wear the same thing but with fleece pajama pants.

1. How old is your LO? 16 months tomorrow
2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? 1-3 on work days, 3-5 on weekends
3. What was it like the very first time you nursed your LO? Frustrating. He didn't latch very well right away. Required some LC visits and a nipple shield for leftie for a while before we found our groove.
4. Have you read any books about BFing that you thought were particularly helpful? I haven't read any. I bought "Work, Pump, Repeat" in preparation for pumping at work after my maternity leave, but other than looking at her recommended list for what to put in your pumping bag, I never even read a word.
Non-BFing question of the week: What do you wear on an average day hanging around at home? I'm all about comfort at home, so a t-shirt or long-sleeved shirt and yoga pants/capris or sweatpants.
