How old is LO? 6 days
How's everything going? Depends on the day. Breastfeeding overall sucks and I seem to get one step forward and two steps back.
Questions/concerns/cute stories to share? Not really just trucking along trying to figure out our game plan.
0-1mo:
What is something about your newborn(s) that surprised you? How huge she was (10 5 at birth)
1-3mo:
How do nights look at your house?
If you're pumping, how is that going? When are you returning to work, or are you SAH? I may actually start to pump so I can bottlefeed it to her. I don’t know that I’d have the supply to EP but I’m not totally opposed.
GTKY: where’s your favorite place in your home to nurse/pump? The lazy boy. The warm leather is like a hug.

How old is LO? 6 weeks and a couple days How's everything going? We are doing well. I have a slight crack on one nipple but have a rx for APNO so I will get that filled later this week. The crack is related to pumping. My one nipple needs the next size up in breast flange. I need to dig it out of my stuff. Questions/concerns/cute stories to share? Ds2 smiled at me when I got home today before I fed him. It totally made me tear up. I missed my little boob monster, even if it was only 2.5 hours lol. 0-1mo: What is something about your newborn(s) that surprised you? 1-3mo: How do nights look at your house? Ds2 usually eats, is awake for 45 min to an hour, then eats again. Goes to sleep around 11pm for 3-5 hours, eats, does another 2-3 hour stretch, eats, does another 2-3 hour stretch, eats, and is up (usually by 10am). DH does diaper changes in the motn and last night rocked ds2 to sleep a couple times. I feed him  and rock him to sleep after if needed. The last couple nights ds2 has been up and eating more frequently because of the growth spurt but I'm hopeful we will be back to more restful nights soon. If you're pumping, how is that going? When are you returning to work, or are you SAH? I started pumping once a week just there's a bottle if needed. DH neglected to use the one from last week (GR) so I used it in ds2's bath. My mom gave ds2 a bottle today (about 3.5 oz) and he drank all of it AND ate immediately when I got home. I had pumped after feeding him so I suspect I would have more output if I was pumping instead of feeding him. GTKY: where’s your favorite place in your home to nurse/pump? Hmmm. I'm fond of my couch downstairs and my glider/recliner upstairs. I prefer the couch because of access to snacks |

How old is LO? 8 weeks
How's everything going? good!
Questions/concerns/cute stories to share? Apparently DD1 has been pulling up here shirt at daycare to “feed the baby” and sticks the doll toward her chest. I saw her do it the other night and she totally just pulls it up nonchalantly and continues talking and doing whatever else she was playing too.
1-3mo: How do nights look at your house? She is giving me 6-8 hour stretches but she doesn’t settle till 10:30/11. I’d love for her bedtime to be earlier but at the same time I’m getting so much more consolidated sleep than I ever did with DD1.
If you're pumping, how is that going? When are you returning to work, or are you SAH? I’ve been really bad about pumping the left side the last few days and my supply seems to have suffered on that side. Totally my fault but the holidays just threw me off my 3x a day schedule.
GTKY: where’s your favorite place in your home to nurse/pump? I absolutely love sidelying nursing DD2 in the mornings after I get H and DD1 out the door. The cuddles!!!

How old is LO? 11 weeks today How's everything going? Good! danvers, I'm sorry I missed your tag a couple weeks ago! The hospital I delivered at left me with a ton of information and I went back through it all and found a breastfeeding group that meets 5 minutes from my house. I went last week and I'm so glad I did. They have a scale there and I'm able to weigh my DD. This relieves soooo much of my anxiety. Her weight continues to be on track with her growth curve so I'm really happy. I also got the name and contact info for a local IBCLC if I need it. I'm going to hold off on the LC for now because her latch is finally improving and I am going to go to the group meetings every other week so I'll get to double check her weight to make sure we continue to stay on track. Another positive is that I found out my insurance actually does cover the LC. So all around a good couple weeks here. Questions/concerns/cute stories to share? I guess I shared my story above. 1-3mo: How do nights look at your house? The last two nights have been decent. She's a gassy baby so I think that wakes her up, but it does seem to be improving. If you're pumping, how is that going? When are you returning to work, or are you SAH? I SAH so I don't really pump. GTKY: where’s your favorite place in your home to nurse/pump? Favorite place to nurse is in the bedroom. |

How old is LO? 5 weeks tomorrow
How's everything going? He is doing great, but I’m definitely drained figuratively and literally
Questions/concerns/cute stories to share? Baby hates sleep. He seriously barely sleeps, and I’m still beyond lucky to get a 3 hour stretch at night. He also wants to nurse almost constantly throughout the day which stresses me out about my supply even though his diaper output is fabulous and he is gaining more than half a pound a week.

1-3mo:
How do nights look at your house? I feel like all I do is deal with wake ups from one kid or the other. I’m exhausted and super touched out.
If you're pumping, how is that going? When are you returning to work, or are you SAH? I pump once a day and am getting 4 oz. he has yet to take a bottle, but I have 43 oz in the freezer.
GTKY: where’s your favorite place in your home to nurse/pump? The glider in the nursery. DS1 usually won’t follow me in there, so it is peaceful.
