How old is your LO? - 11.5 mo; this is my last time in this check in!
Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? How’s it going? - nursing, great
9-12mo What’s your favorite tip for dealing with a hungry yet distractible baby? - eye contact & singing. Know that this phase will pass. Put baby down & try again soon.
Questions/AW? - we’re leaving on a cruise today! I nursed baby on the shuttle from the parking lot & kept nursing as we got off & got in the boarding line. Pretty proud of myself for that!
GTKY: if you could see any movie in the movie theatre, old or new, which movie would you choose? - the breakfast club

How old is your LO? 11 months
Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? How’s it going? Nursing on demand at home, pumping 2x a day at work. It's going fine. I will be happy to be done with pumping but I know I probably won't be until 13-14 months based on how it's shaken out last time.
9-12mo What’s your favorite tip for dealing with a hungry yet distractible baby? I usually just stop and try again in 10-20 minutes. Rocking usually helps, too- we have a rocking recliner in the living room.
GTKY: if you could see any movie in the movie theatre, old or new, which movie would you choose? I would love to take DS1 to see Jurassic Park in the theater. But first we have to show it to him at home to make sure he doesn't freak out, lol

lily, I nursed my (giant) 9.5 month old standing in line at the gates waiting for Disneyland to open. I was proud of myself, but my arms were so sore after!

How old is your LO? 10 months this week
Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? How’s it going? Nursing at home, pumping at work (and at home to make bottles). This kid will eat literally anything fed to him, and also anything that might be food. Dog hair is one of his food groups.
9-12mo What’s your favorite tip for dealing with a hungry yet distractible baby? If he's hungry, he'll eat. If a dark room/quiet place is not an option, I just keep trying until hunger overshadows distraction.
Questions/AW?
GTKY: if you could see any movie in the movie theatre, old or new, which movie would you choose? I'd go see Little Mermaid again, even though I've seen it too many times and already on the big screen for some of those. It's just my favorite! I saw Beauty at the Beast in IMAX ages ago, and you could see the pencil lines for some of the drawings, so I'd love to check it out that big for some of the older, still hand drawn stuff!

How old is your LO? 11.5 months
Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? How’s it going? Nursing on demand at home, and 1-2 times a day at work, depending on if he woke up to nurse before I left. Still not super happy with my pumping output, but oh well. He's a boob monster so no trouble there except already anticipating a fight to get him weaned when the time comes lol
9-12mo What’s your favorite tip for dealing with a hungry yet distractible baby? Ummm, I usually nurse him in bed, so I'll just lay there with my boob out and play on my phone and he'll come and go as he wants lol. He's pretty good about it though, except his acrobatics
Questions/AW?
GTKY: if you could see any movie in the movie theatre, old or new, which movie would you choose? Hrmmm, I'd love to go see the 1st Avengers movie in theatre again.

How old is your LO? 4 months old
Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? Pumping while at work. Nursing when together. How’s it going? Going well other rhan I despise pumping and it's hard to fit in with my job.
4-8 mo We haven't started solids yet and wont for a while. We do BLW (I have will my other 2 as well) and skip purees. It makes starting solid so stress free for me. If you’ve returned to work, how is that transition going? I've been back at work for over a month now. I start a new job in a fee weeks and will be working night shift. My baby consistently sleeps 11p-7a so I'm not sure how to work a pumping schedule.
GTKY: if you could see any movie in the movie theatre, old or new, which movie would you choose? I really want to see Toy Story 4.

How old is your LO? 1 year next week 😭😭
Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? How’s it going? Nursing at home/pumping at work
9-12mo What’s your favorite tip for dealing with a hungry yet distractible baby? I nurse her upstairs in her bedroom. I try to remember to turn the lights off so it’s. I’ve and dark so she can’t get too distracted.
Questions/AW? LO has been taking 3 7oz bottles at daycare and I’ve been able to keep up with that pumping at work. My first postpartum period came late last week and my output has TANKED. I’m barely getting enough for 2.5 bottles during work (pumping 3 times/day). At this point can I start supplementing with whole milk since I’ll transition her eventually at daycare?
GTKY: if you could see any movie in the movie theatre, old or new, which movie would you choose? DH and I just recently jumped on the marvel movie bandwagon (I know-way late-still working our way thru the list so we can see Endgame in theaters). I’d want to see any of the older marvel movies.

kookie3631, 21 ounces is a LOT for a normal workday. i would just send in whatever you pump at this point and not worry about it. but yeah, if you wanted, given that she's so close to a year, you could certainly top off bottles with whole milk. i would just be making up the difference with solids, though. they don't NEED whole milk if they're still nursing; it's just a convenient source of fat and calories.
