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 is your favorite thing about nursing a toddler? 4. Does your LO nurse to sleep? If not, what is their bedtime routine like? 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? GTKY: Do you have any plans for New Year's Eve? |

1. How old is your LO?
- 15mo
2. How many times per day does your LO nurse?
- 2ish right now--he's been sick and hasn't asked much lately
3. What is your favorite thing about nursing a toddler?
- The brief calm in the whirlwind that is DS.
4. Does your LO nurse to sleep? If not, what is their bedtime routine like?
- Nope. He nurses right after we get home and usually doesn't nurse again before bed. We do dinner straight to bath, many books, rock, bed.
GTKY: Do you have any plans for New Year's Eve?
- Nope! We've been talking about making a fancy dinner after DS is in bed (SD will be at her mom's), but maybe we'll just say fuck it and get takeout.

1. How old is your LO? 19 months
2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? Maybe once. He spent more time yelling and staring at my boobs than nursing this morning so I assume there isn't much there.
3. What is your favorite thing about nursing a toddler? The snuggles. Not so much on the smacking and yelling.
4. Does your LO nurse to sleep? If not, what is their bedtime routine like? No nursing. Brush teeth, read book(maybe), turn on noise machine and drop him in his crib. Bye Felicia.

1. How old is your LO? 18m
2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? 6-7
3. What is your favorite thing about nursing a toddler? Stops tantrums or when she gets hurt. Also I like how she holds my boob like a sandwich.
4. Does your LO nurse to sleep? If not, what is their bedtime routine like? Most of the time yes. Sometimes we just cuddle to sleep.
GTKY: Do you have any plans for New Year's Eve? Not really. I may buy some champagne.

. How old is your LO? Almost 3!
2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? 0
3. What is your favorite thing about nursing a toddler? The snuggles
4. Does your LO nurse to sleep? If not, what is their bedtime routine like? She did for a long time. For the recent past she nursed and did not fall asleep. Bedtime routine: bath some nights, books, snack, brush teeth, then try to get her to sleep for an hour lol
Tandem Nursing Moms: How are you doing? Any current challenges? Questions for other moms? I think we are done. Dd was nursing a couple nights a week. She still asks several nights a week still but I just say not tonight and she moves on easily to something else. It kind of tugs at my heart sometimes and sometimes not. We had a wonderful nursing journey and I am sad it’s over but happy that it was so awesome! Never imagined I’d nurse this long or love it so much.
GTKY: Do you have any plans for New Year's eve? Nope, just hanging at home.

1. 3
2. 1-4x
3. No pumping! I can even go away for several days and have no issue.
4. Usually milky happens before lights out. Teeth, potty, books and then lights out.
GTKY we might try some of our city’s first night activities if we are healthy
