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 know a lot of other extended BFers in real life? 4. What is something you're looking forward to about life after breastfeeding? Pregnant & BFing/Tandem Nursing Moms: How are you doing? Any issues with supply, pain, aversion? Questions for other moms?
GTKY: Is your LO dressing up for Halloween? What will their costume be?

1. How old is your LO? 15 months 2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? 5+ 3. Do you know a lot of other extended BFers in real life? Not really. My sisters-in-law all nursed to 2+, though. 4. What is something you're looking forward to about life after breastfeeding? I will feel so free when I can come home and just do whatever after work without a desperate child immediately descending upon me to nurse.
GTKY: Is your LO dressing up for Halloween? What will their costume be? DS1 and DS2 are going to be iron man and spiderman, so DS3 is going to be some or other marvel superhero-- i really have to get organized and get a costume for him.

1. How old is your LO? 2 years, 2 months
2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? OMG it was 1 but lately 2 or 3..So much for weaning!
3. Do you know a lot of other extended BFers in real life? No, none at all. I hate to say it but most of my circle would be judgy about it
4. What is something you're looking forward to about life after breastfeeding? Releasing the guilt about wanting to be done but sad to be done but feeling crazy all wrapped up in one! Lol. I'm very grateful though that it went so smoothly with both my girls. I know that isn't always the case so hence the guilt for feeling done when she clearly isn't.
GTKY: Is your LO dressing up for Halloween? What will their costume be? D1 is going to be a unicorn and D2 is going to be a puppy. I have a cute dalmation puffy one piece suit that D1 wore.

1. How old is your LO? 14 months 2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? 2x (wakeup and bedtime) 3. Not really. I realized at a 1 year get together for my IRL mom's group that everyone was/had weaned. I nursed DD until nearly 2, and I anticipate the same thing happening. It's not too weird because we mostly nurse at home now, but I'm the last man standing who has to feed the baby before I can go out in the evening! 4. A night or two away with H! I'm scheduling a trip basically the moment I can line up childcare after DS weans. Bittersweet though, this is for sure our last kid, so I don't want to rush anything. GTKY: He's being a hedgehog. So cute and fluffy!
