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. How does your LO let you know that they'd like to BF? 4. How old was your LO when you introduced solids and how did LO take to them? How is your LO eating now? Pregnant & BFing Moms: How are you doing this week? Any issues with supply, pain, aversion? Questions for other moms? Tandem Nursing Moms: How are you doing this week? Any current challenges? Questions for other moms? Non-BFing question of the week: Which TV show that your kid(s) watches is the most irritating? What is your favorite show that they watch?

1. How old is your LO? Almost 2! 2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? 3-6 depending on whether a work day and prob a little too much overnight! 3. How does your LO let you know that they'd like to BF? She usually gets the cutest big grin on her face and reaches for my chest. she's never really had a word for it. 4. How old was your LO when you introduced solids and how did LO take to them? How is your LO eating now? We started around 6/7 months with baby oatmeal then baby food then gradually started with solids. maybe avocado was the first thing? She eats pretty normally now. Does not eat veggies except in puree form so she gets a pouch most days.
Non-BFing question of the week: Which TV show that your kid(s) watches is the most irritating? What is your favorite show that they watch? SHe likes this Masha and Bear weird show on Netflix. I like Sesame Street, Moana and FRozen which are on the heaviest rotation at our house.

1. How old is your LO? 26 months 2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? just in the morning when she gets up. occasionally after daycare. she did go on a 2 day strike so I'm thinking she's starting to self-wean 3. How does your LO let you know that they'd like to BF? she yells "boobies" 4. How old was your LO when you introduced solids and how did LO take to them? How is your LO eating now? she loved solids around 6 months. since then she's become less interested. typical toddler
Non-BFing question of the week: Which TV show that your kid(s) watches is the most irritating? What is your favorite show that they watch? I don't mind any of her shows. She LOVES Team Umizoomi and Peppa Pig

1. How old is your LO? 2 2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? 2 3. How does your LO let you know that they'd like to BF? whines and cries for "boobies" 4. How old was your LO when you introduced solids and how did LO take to them? How is your LO eating now? around 6 months. he liked solids but wasn't crazy for them the was DS1 was. now he's getting more and more picky. i have to be more diligent about figuring out ways to get him to eat vegetables.
Pregnant & BFing Moms: How are you doing this week? Any issues with supply, pain, aversion? Questions for other moms? so i'm seriously doubting my sanity, but yeah, i was just at the doctor yesterday and apparently this is really happening. @_@ DS2 is down to 2x a day but is still pretty enthusiastic about both times. i'm not loving it, but (knock on wood) i'm not having aversion this time (yet!), just some sensitivity. so i can deal without wanting to tear my hair out.
Non-BFing question of the week: Which TV show that your kid(s) watches is the most irritating? What is your favorite show that they watch? i always used to hear people talking about how annoying caillou was, but whoaaah i did not realize how awful it was until DS1 started randomly watching it on pbs. god, i hate that show. i also hate thomas the train. i love puffin rock and sarah & duck (both on netflix).

1. 24 mo 2. As many as I'll allow. 3. Both of my kids randomly called BF "that", so he just points and says "that". 4. 6ish mo, when he started reaching for stuff on my plate.
He eats everything. Food is his happy place.
I loathe Dora, but they both love it. DD only gets to watch things like MLP or Care Bears if I need her super distracted.
I love Puffin Rock and Moana.

1. How old is your LO? 14.5 months
2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? 2-4 on days I work in office, 5-7 on days I'm with him all day.
3. How does your LO let you know that they'd like to BF? He starts yanking on my shirt and trying to look down it. Working on getting him to stop this because it's annoying and is ruining my shirts. My MIL had luck teaching him signs for more and all done so maybe I'll try to teach him the one for milk.
4. How old was your LO when you introduced solids and how did LO take to them? How is your LO eating now? We waited until 6 months per recommendation of our ped. He enjoyed them, but his gag reflex remained really sensitive for a long time so anything more than purees didn't go well for a while. He's finally getting better about bigger pieces and harder to chew foods. I'm sure it helps that he's finally getting more teeth - he got his first top teeth (3 of them!) in the past week and a half.
Non-BFing question of the week: Which TV show that your kid(s) watches is the most irritating? What is your favorite show that they watch? He doesn't have his own shows that he watches yet so nothing irritating, but we watch Jeopardy nightly while eating dinner and he absolutely loves it!
My pumping output has dropped enough that I think I'm calling it quits soon. DS turns 15 months on 12/13 and I'll be back working in the office 5 days a week starting in January, so I'll probably stop at one of those points. I have a decent enough stash to slowly transition him to WCM, but it feels weird to think I may not be pumping soon.

1. How old is your LO? 3.5 and nearly 2 2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? 0-2 3. How does your LO let you know that they'd like to BF? They ask for milk. 4. How old was your LO when you introduced solids and how did LO take to them? How is your LO eating now? 6mos and they eat everything (always have)! Most recently the little one stole half of my salmon sashimi. Tandem Nursing Moms: How are you doing this week? Any current challenges? Questions for other moms? We’re good. Winding down. Never sure if it’s the last time, but I’m doing okay with it. Non-BFing question of the week: Which TV show that your kid(s) watches is the most irritating? What is your favorite show that they watch? Little baby bum. So annoying! I like magic school bus

1. How old is your LO? - 2.75 years
2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? - 0-3
3. How does your LO let you know that they'd like to BF? - “Momma, can I have your milk?”
4. How old was your LO when you introduced solids and how did LO take to them? How is your LO eating now? - just shy of 6mo. We did baby led weaning aka table food and he loved it. He’s still a good eater, though he’d prefer candy at all times (thanks, Halloween!)
Pregnant & BFing Moms: How are you doing this week? Any issues with supply, pain, aversion? Questions for other moms? - supply is low or gone. No pain, no aversion. I’m so sick in the evenings sometimes I have to skip bedtime, so some days DS doesn’t nurse at all.
Non-BFing question of the week: Most irritating- Paw Patrol. The show isn’t bad but the song omgosh won’t get out of my head. Also we’re nearing month 3 of an seamless game of “lets pretend to be Paw Patrol characters.” My son introduces himself as Chase -_- Favorite- idk, Dinotrux maybe?
