Extended Breastfeeding Check-in/Chat, March

[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. What would you title this chapter in your breastfeeding journey?
4. What would be your go-to baby shower gift for a mom-to-be who wants to BF?

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

GTKY: What do you love and not love about each of your children's current stages/ages?

1. How old is your LO? 19 months
2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? 4-5
3. What would you title this chapter in your breastfeeding journey? Dude, You Really Should be Sleeping Through the Night at This Point
4. What would be your go-to baby shower gift for a mom-to-be who wants to BF? TBH I'd probably just make a giant basket of snacks.

GTKY: What do you love and not love about each of your children's current stages/ages?
DS1 (7.5) love: fun to have a real conversation & laugh about stuff, helpful with chores and his little brothers, can entertain himself for long periods
don't love: sulky moods/shrieking, can procrastinate endlessly
DS2: (4.5) love: asks funny questions, wants to help me cook and do projects with me
don't love: still wants to act like a baby, sometimes shockingly mean to DS3
DS3 (1.5) love: super cute, runs and hugs you, starting to say 2 word phrases, eats everything i cook
don't love: flop-to-the-floor tantrums, Olympic-level mess-making, doesn't STTN and can't get him out of our bed (probably related, i know)
