Getting through growth spurts okay?

If you're pumping, how is that going? When are you returning to work, or are you SAH?

How old is LO? 12 weeks Thursday

How's everything going? Going great. I would love for him to not nurse every 90 mins but the extra calorie burn is nice. I dunno if it's third kid or what. Everything seems super easy. I'm waiting for the bottom to fall out.

Questions/concerns/cute stories to share?

1-3mo:
Getting through growth spurts okay? Supposedly we are in a leap but nothing's changed so...

If you're pumping, how is that going? When are you returning to work, or are you SAH? I SAH. Pumping going great though.

GTKY: what's a childhood memory you're looking forward to recreating with your kid(s)? Family vacations! Perhaps camping when everyone is a bit older.

How old is LO? 11 weeks

How's everything going? Good! I wouldn't say we have a schedule or anything, but I feel like we're getting into a good loose routine.

Questions/concerns/cute stories to share?

Sometimes DS will latch, suck a couple times, and then unlatch and look up/roll on his back on the pillow....then repeat. He doesn't fuss or anything, so I kind of just let him do it for a couple of minutes and then try burping and switching sides. Sometimes he'll just refocus on his own. I think he's just looking around when he's no longer hungry, and he might be practicing rolling since he seems to be doing that more on the floor now.

1-3mo:
Getting through growth spurts okay? Should be hitting the 12 week growth spurt soon. How do I handle growth spurts once I'm pumping at work? Will DS just nurse more to increase my supply at night and on weekends, or do I need to try adding more pumping sessions to help with that?

If you're pumping, how is that going? When are you returning to work, or are you SAH? Going to try to start pumping more each week to build up a small supply. Going back to work after Labor Day.


GTKY: what's a childhood memory you're looking forward to recreating with your kid(s)? Holidays and family vacations. My parents really prioritized fun vacations each summer, and they're some of my favorite memories.

12 weeks

Started back to work this week...going okay so far

1-3: had a few fussier evenings at the end of last week so hoping that was the worst of the 12 week leap

I'm working to get into a pumping routine at work and cleaning/prep routine in the evening. I had a private office with DD2, but this time I'm having to use the pumping room which has been working out okay so far. I'm using my own pump but need to check with the LCs (work in hospital) about getting set of parts for the pumps they have in the room to try. I've been sending extra milk this week to ease my mind, but hope that I can cut back a bit once I feel better about her pattern

GTKY: I like continuing holiday traditions like baking, crafts, etc.

gimmesugar it's kind of trial and error with growth spurts but yes often women find their babies nurse more when together and that's enough. Sometimes they want more milk when apart. It's another situation in which your caregiver using paced feeding is very important , because if they go up in amount during the spurt they'll probably go back down afterward, but not if they're chugging the bottle before they realize they're full.

-9 weeks

-going good. She's one happy baby so far.

-getting through growth spurts okay. I think I've only noticed a couple of days that I felt like she was constantly attached to me.

-pumping a couple times a week for my runs/workouts. It's going well.

-gtky: gosh everything!! I'm looking forward to sports and vacations the most. We are signing up DS1 for soccer and tball when he turns 3.
