Extended Breastfeeding Check-in/Chat, 6/15-6/30

[vvvvvfee]

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. Do you still nurse in public? If not, when did you stop?
4. Have you read any books about BFing that you thought were particularly helpful?

Pregnant & BFing/Tandem Nursing Moms: How are you doing? Any issues with supply, pain, aversion? Questions for other moms?

GTKY: Would you rather have lots of energy or have lots of money?

1. How old is your LO? - he made one year last Friday!

2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? - 5-7 including overnight

3. Do you still nurse in public? If not, when did you stop? - yes

4. Have you read any books about BFing that you thought were particularly helpful? - the Womanly Art of Breastfeeding

GTKY: Would you rather have lots of energy or have lots of money? - money. Then I could outsource the things I didn’t want to spend my energy on.

1. 21mo

3. We still do occasionally. He comfort nursed at the air show last month when he was getting used to the noise.

4. I never read any books, but KellyMom was my bible.

GTKY: MONEY!

1. 3.5 yo
2. 0-2x. I was just away for almost a week and I think she is finally starting to show some signs of slowing down.
3. After 2/2.5 yo, I became pretty firm about no more NIP.
4. I think I read some of Ina Garten’s book and maybe the Art of WB... but that was like 6+ years ago and I have no idea anymore

GTKY, yeah, I’ll take the money too.

Hi! I guess I check in here now too.

1. Hit a year on Thursday.

2. 4-5 ish? I was trying to figure this out the other day but there's times when he's on and off and on and off so it's hard to count lol.

3. I haven't recently but I'd be comfortable still doing it. We just haven't really been out somewhere where it was needed lol.

4. Nope. I watched a couple of videos online though.

Qotw - gimme the moolah!
