Re: Breastfeeding while pregnant check-in (9/30)
2. DD is 20 months
3. My nips are sensitive and its a little bit painful to nurse. It brings me back to the good old days of nursing a newborn.
No changes in supply yet. We are trying to wean at least our morning feeding. I'm hoping to be nursing only once a day, at bedtime, by the end of first tri!
4. Moms who have weaned before: any tips or tricks?
My absolute favorite nursing item is nursing tanks. I still wear them and LOVE them!

GTKY: What was your favorite nursing item and how long did you use it?
5 weeks
2. How old is your nursling(s)?
19 months
3. Any supply issues, pain, nursing aversion?
I had a burning sensation for about a week, but that is over. Kingston still nurses constantly, so my biggest thing is I'm super touched out and hope that goes away, as I would like to not have to wean him.
4. Any questions for the group?
What others did to combat being touched out?
GTKY: What was your favorite nursing item and how long did you use it?
The boppy or my nursing necklace. We still use the necklace and I don't remember when we phased the boppy out.
2) My girls are almost 4 and almost 2 and I nurse the 4 y/o at bed only.
3) Last pregnancy I had terrible nursing aversion.... like I wanted to run away while nursing. This time it's ok so far, but last night the 2y/o didn't want to nurse :-( So I hope it was just a one time thing.
4) Anyone planning to tandem?
5) The boppy. I've used it for 4 years!
@jasminemarch, right before getting pg I started feeling pretty touched out. Between DD being clingy as hell all day and wanting only me to put her to bed, I was really having difficulty with her night nursing. The only thing I found that helps is if I try distracting myself when I feel that way. I will occasionally bring my phone in with me and read (obviously not ideal, I know). I find it does pass! Hope it gets better for you soon!
I mean, she does wake frequently most nights. Especially when teeth are bothering her (which seems to be all.the.time, poor baby), it gets way worse.
1. How pregnant are you? 4 weeks 2 days
2. How old is your nursling(s)? 14 months
3. Any supply issues, pain, nursing aversion? I think I've mostly lost all supply in Righty. But Lefty is still going strong. Righty was always pretty low. No pain yet, thankfully.
4. Any questions for the group? For those who are planning on tandem nursing, had anyone ever received any judgey comments about it?
GTKY: What was your favorite nursing item and how long did you use it? Definitely the Lansing Breast Pads as my boobs *still* leak.
@NoeliaV - My little girl still wakes up at least once a night. Sometimes more when she's teething. I've kind of just gotten used to it honestly. On the few nights she has slept through the night I always wake up wondering why she hasn't woke me yet.
@JenRN1115 - I am definitely planning on it. I'm really hoping it will help my daughter adjust to the new baby. Right now she gets SO jealous if I hold another baby, nevermind nursing one!
@JenRN1115 I do! I've been looking into teaching my DS nursing etiquette, for when #2 is here!
2. How old is your nursling(s)? 16 months
3. Any supply issues, pain, nursing aversion? My supply has dropped a ton this last week and the pain has started when he nurses. More so on one side though
4. Any questions for the group? I don't think so! Right now I'm just trying to decide if I want to wean or aim for another few months
GTKY: What was your favorite nursing item and how long did you use it? Reusable nursing pads! I had to wear them thru 13 months and I loved the soft cotton and the saved cost
4 weeks, 2 days
2. How old is your nursling(s)?
10 months
3. Any supply issues, pain, nursing aversion?
Not yet but I'm assuming it's coming. I've been giving DS formula once a day so he gets used to it if we have to switch. He's not thrilled about it. I'm hoping we can at least make it until he can switch over to cow's milk.

1. How pregnant are you?
2. How old is your nursling(s)?
He's about 13 months old
3. Any supply issues, pain, nursing aversion?
I started hurting this past week. Seems like it hurts more each passing day! My supply dropped before I got pregnant. I was weaning myself off the pump and resorted to morning and night nursing sessions. I now only pump when I feel uncomfortable while at work.
4. Any questions for the group?
What exactly is nursing aversion? I'm not sure what that means.

2. How old is your nursling(s)? 10 months
3. Any supply issues, pain, nursing aversion? Nothing so far which is awesome! I'm shocked.
GTKY: What was your favorite nursing item and how long did you use it? Well, I'm still using all of them pretty much, but my favorite would definitely be my wraps. Hands free nursing is HUGE with 2 other littles to chase after.
