I have a feeling DS isn't getting much milk anymore. Is there anything I can do at this point in the game? Or is this our sign that weaning is coming?

1. 3 2. 1-3x 3. DD1 at the top of the Washington monument as a toddler. 4. Kelly mom
QOTW: DH and I might go bowling over the weekend, but his birthday is just before the 14th, so it's convenient timing more than just a Valentine's date. Maybe I'll make something special for dinner.

gingy, it's hard to tell with a toddler how much they're really getting. a lot of it is about comfort at this point. if they are still enthusiastic about nursing then i wouldn't assume they're ready to wean. my first 2 had phases as toddlers where they were too busy to nurse much at all and then they would get sick or have separation anxiety and ramp up the nursing again. they can definitely bump up your supply by nursing constantly for several days. i would just go with the flow.

Thanks. He's definitely a comfort nurser. Our after work session is his favorite, but lately he'll nurse and then get cranky and start smashing my boob and signing "more." It happened during our wakeup session this morning for the first time, and he was HANGRY and stormed the kitchen looking for snacks after.
