How old is baby? Last check in here! B will be 12 months on Friday!
How often are you nursing? Solids? Anywhere from 3-6x a day. They are never more than 5 minutes long per session. Solids are often. Kid loves to eat. He will not eat purees anymore, just table food.
How are nights? So much better. I was....not in a good place mentally with almost a year of < 4 hour stretches of sleep. We did CIO for one night about three weeks ago. Now he goes to bed at 7p, wide awake, wakes up between 5-6a to eat and goes back to bed until 7.
How is pumping/nursing going? No more pumping. It was terrible when I did. Nursing is going fine. Sometimes I offer and he was been refusing. I wasn't expecting that this early.
Any bf/pumping goals? Goal updates? BF goal is to let him self wean. I would like to be done by 18months but I won't push it.
Q/rants/cute stories: he's a nasty pincher. My arm pits are full of blood blisters because he pinches them when he's nursing before bed. 😓

How old is baby? 10 months
How often are you nursing? Solids? 6-8 times when I'm with him all day. 3-4 times on days I work in-office. We've finally gotten better about giving solids and he usually gets 4-8 oz of fruit/veggie purees during the day then 2-2 1/2 oz of cereal before bed. Plus puffs or cheese ripped into pieces to keep working on his chewing abilities.
How are nights? He had been mostly STTN but this week hasn't been great. He's been waking up twice, once around 10 and the other around 12:30. I had been following my "rule" of no nursing until after midnight so the 10-ish wake-up I'd put him back to sleep then the 12:30-ish I'd feed him. Well last night I gave in and fed him at the 10-ish wake-up and the slept through until 8:15!!! Apparently I could have been getting much better nights if I had been feeding him the first time he woke up!!
How is pumping/nursing going? Good. I got really worried because my supply took a big hit while I had a cold last week, but it seems to have rebounded.
Any bf/pumping goals? Goal updates? No updates. Still aiming for a year.
Q/rants/cute stories: DS started clapping while nursing this morning. He reached up with one hand over and the other under by boob so he could clap while he nursed. It was adorable.

That's a long time to go with those short stretches. I'm glad CIO worked melody330!
