marshian, we've had to supplement from the beginning because he was losing too much weight and my supply was slow to catch up but I'm pretty much in the same boat as you (except my boobs aren't that big). I could go almost 5 hours between pumping and still pump a max of 4 oz. total. We don't supplement at home anymore but I don't want him to be hungry when I'm not around to feed on demand so I've had to make peace with supplementing as needed. We are starting solids so that's fun.

piratecat - Same here with the pumping max. I went almost 7 hours on one side once because she had a weird day and only got 3 ounces from it. Thankfully she never lost weight even though I was giving her only one side for so long but she's been in the 25-30th percentiles for height and weight and the pedi wasn't thrilled. (Though we are smaller people, both families, so it's not unexpected.) She's just a chill baby and didn't act hungry or fussy after just one side. I started offering her both sides again and she takes them so we'll see if she jumps up on the curve. I'm lucky in that I was able to build a good stash (about 8 days' worth of bm) while on maternity leave so we can eat into that as needed.

marshian, I've always had to feed both sides and he's such a slow eater too! I'm so jealous of people that can nurse just one side and be done in like 5 minutes. J is generally a happy baby but he definitely lets me know when he's not full. We're also in the 30th percentile for weight and height but I'm small too and the pediatrician isn't concerned. He seems very interested in solids so I'm hoping that'll help him grow some more.

I forgets to check-in. Oopsies. We're a toddler now but I was tagged so I'll say hi anyway! 1. How old is your LO? 14 months and I'm 12 weeks tomorrow. 2. What milestone have you hit recently? What new skills are they working on? We're climbing now! On rocking chairs :/ She seemed fairly advanced with babbling early on but we've sort of stalled with mostly "dat" "cat" and maybe "wut." She doesn't say anything on command and wont mimick really. I'm not worried, I just found it interesting that she was a babbling machine as a baby and now things are still just random sounds that seem to make sense to her, but no one else! 3. What new challenges are you working on currently? Nothing too bad right now. She definitely doesn't like being told no, especially when she's tired. 4. How are things going for you? Are you back at work? Staying at home? I've been back to work since 3 months PP. I'm not SAHM material. I do have Thursdays off with her which is wonderful. Some days though I'm like, what do I do with this kid? She still tries to eat crayons, playdoh gets eaten, she wont really walk in any one direction but will wander around the back yard. Sometimes I'm just at a loss as to what to do with her. ETA: 7. Are you and the baby dressing up for Halloween? What will you be? DD was a baby bird and she was ADORBS. I'll add a pic.

Let's get to know each other and hang out here! 1. How old is your LO? 2. What milestone have you hit recently? What new skills are they working on? 3. What new challenges are you working on currently? 4. How are things going for you? Are you back at work? Staying at home? 5. Do you have any other questions for the group? Start a thread! 6. And feel free to share pictures! ETA: 7. Are you and the baby dressing up for Halloween? What will you be? 1. Baby I is 14 months! 2. She started walking at 11 months (overachiever) and she has now figured out how to climb on tables. Ooph. She also says many animals sounds and starting to point to body parts ("where's your nose??") 50% of the time she gets it every time. 3. Tantrums over the stroller and car seat. Fuuuuuuun. 4. Back at work almost a year and have a new job as of this past May. So many changes! 7. She was a strawberry (Carter's costume) for an event and then Dorothy on Halloween.

I'm late to this. Sorry just saw the tag. 1. How old is your LO? G is 6 months 2. What milestone have you hit recently? What new skills are they working on? We are working on sitting. He has learned how to spin and wiggle backwards across the room. I keep finding him in weird places. 3. What new challenges are you working on currently? Nursing without getting distracted. 4. How are things going for you? Are you back at work? Staying at home? It's going fairly well. I'm working PT for Mil, but mostly I stay home. 5. Do you have any other questions for the group? Start a thread! 6. And feel free to share pictures! ETA: 7. Are you and the baby dressing up for Halloween? What will you be? He was a mouse, to the others were cat and Everest, from Paw Patrol.
