Re: Breastfeeding check in
How old is LO ? How long between feedings? What is the longest LO sleeps at night? 4months old. 2-3 hours during the day. Every night is different, 2 nights ago we got a 6hour stretch, last night she was up every hour
EBF, EP, supplementing? EBF
Raves and rants? Went to Intimacy to get fitted for a new nursing bra. The one I have from last baby fits (32E) but is slightly too small in the cup. The one I bought recently after I got measured at destination maternity (34DD) ended up all wrong, the underwire digs into my chest, band is too tight, straps fall down and my boobs spill out of the cups. I've been a B cup most of my life so I was super excited that even a DD is too small now. Well sure enough I left intimacy with a 34D, WTF??? I guess bras are like clothes, switch from one brand to another and there is no consistency in sizes.
What is your favorite (and most hated) nursing bra? Really like the ones I have by Anita. Hate destination maternity brand and target.

Because some ladies on Mar15 think there is a time and place where NIP is/isn't appropriate I'd like to remind you of the places where it is never appropriate to NIP :-)

How old is LO ? How long between feedings? What is the longest LO sleeps at night? DD just turned 4 months on Friday. She is around 3 hours in between feedings during the day. DD sleeps on average about 10 hours (7:30pm - 5:30/6am) - yes, I'm extremely lucky.
EBF, EP, supplementing? EBF and pumping for DC. Still confused if this is EBF (?)
Raves and rants? Rave: I didn't understand how/why women are like "BF is the best thing. I feel so close to my baby, etc.". I get it now. I wasn't a huge fan of it until the last few weeks. I really am starting to cherish that time together, especially since I feel like I only see her for an hour during the week. I love when she stops nursing and just smiles so big at me. Melts. My. Heart. Rant: I forgot the yellow piece of the Medela pump at home on Friday so I couldn't pump at the same time at work which sucked. Pumping one breast at a time takes foooorrrrreeevvvveeerrr.
What is your favorite (and most hated) nursing bra? I have one nursing bra and typically wear it on the weekends - I have no clue what brand it is; however, I used to be a B cup, I bought a D. A D! My 15 year-old self is cheering on the inside, but my responsible 29 year old self is like "WTF. My shirts have a hard time fitting and I refuse to spend $ on new shirts". Please tell me my boobs will go back to "normal"...
Anything else you want to share? Yes. I hate Mondays.
How old is LO ? How long between feedings? What is the longest LO sleeps at night? 19 weeks. He goes about every 4 hours at daycare and at home still every 2ish. His sleep has been a crapshoot lately. Some nights he is up every hour and some he sleeps at least a 5-6 hour stretch.
EBF, EP, supplementing? EBF and pumping at work.
Raves and rants? I have nothing to complain about really.
What is your favorite (and most hated) nursing bra? I can't remember the name of the brand I have, but it's the only brand I use.
Anything else you want to share? I don't think so.
It's alright. LO started crying while nursing again. I guess she's just going through a phase or something. She's only nursing for about 10-15 min total.

She's four months old now and during the day it's pretty much every two hours on the dot. Her sleeping is all messed up since we are trying to get her to stay in her crib. But outside of the crib we were getting a a good 6 hours.
EBF, EP, supplementing?
EBF with one bedtime bottle of BM
Raves and rants? She's starting to stop nursing and just stare at me or DH if he's sitting next to use. Love her smiles :-) But today she's fussing while eating and seems to be done pretty quickly. I don't feel like she's getting enough but I know there's still milk in there lol
What is your favorite (and most hated) nursing bra?
I think the brand is loving moments. It's a sleeping nursing bra I guess. Idk but it's comfy. I have a "regular" nursing bra from destination maternity and I wear that one when we leave the house since it's much more supportive.

The whole baby in the crib thing sucks for us right now. I know I just have to keep at it but she will not sleep on her tummy without her paci. I'm having to get up every 30-60 min when she spits it out. Have up last night and out her in her RnP so I could get two hours of sleep. Ugh
How old is LO ? How long between feedings? What is the longest LO sleeps at night? Baby girl is 4 months, 18 weeks today. During the day she is usually feeding every 2-3 hours. I have noticed what feels like fewer feedings recently, but I keep forgetting to count them. Right now we're also in the throes of 4MW so she's been waking up a lot more often, but last night we got a 4.5 hour stretch.
EBF, EP, supplementing? um, all? The preferred method is feeding from breast. I also pump so that we have a supply to use when I'm out of the house and my husband is caring for her, and we'll give her a bottle of BM every so often so he can feed her. We went on a trip to in-laws' recently and I pumped in the car on the way down and gave that her in the car so we wouldn't have to stop. On the same trip we had a 2 hour car ride and I couldn't pump so I gave her Similac formula for breastfeeding moms in the car that she took with no issues.
Raves and rants? I have NIP twice at the mall with no cover and no one has cared at all! (or didn't say anything at least) My rant is that breastfeeding during outings takes so long and i'm a little impatient.
What is your favorite (and most hated) nursing bra? I dont know...it's a soft one from target. My only complaint is that I wish it was more supportive for regular wear. My boobs grew from 34D to 38DD. I hate the wired ones with cups because my boobs fall out of them if I lean forward at all.
Anything else you want to share? I have much love for the department store Von Maur. Near the children's section in their store, they have a "Women's Lounge" area. On one side were the bathrooms, then across the lounge area there was a separate Mother's Room. It had a changing table with baby wipes provided, a large sink area, a table with tissues, and a comfy glider with some nice air conditioning. Loved it!
