Re: Breast feeling check in
How old is LO ? How long between feedings? What is the longest LO sleeps at night? 7months, eats every 2-3 hours during the day and every 1-2 hours at night because she has no self soothing skills and needs to suck to fall asleep
Raves, rants and anything else you want to share? I'm so tired! Also my phone autocorrected breastfeeding to breast feeling, I didn't change it because it's funny!
How old is LO ? How long between feedings? What is the longest LO sleeps at night? DD will be 7 months on Friday (12/19). Every 3 hours or so in between nursing sessions or bottles. She gets 2-3 solid meals a day. DD sleeps an 8-9 hour chunk, wakes up to nurse and then back to sleep for another 2-3 hours.
Raves, rants and anything else you want to share: We moved the nursery around this weekend and lowered her crib. I think she's pretty confused.

- DH and I had food poisoning on Friday- I think Dante missed the level of hell that is having food poisoning with a baby at home. Fortunately LO was not affected, and so far my milk supply has been okay. I'm struggling to eat enough.
How old is LO ? How long between feedings? What is the longest LO sleeps at night?- LO is 7.5 months old. During the weekdays he has 3 bottles at DC. On weekends I nurse him every 2-3 hours. He's still waking up 3 times a night. Sometimes I only get 2-3 hours of sleep at a time, or sometimes I get 4 hours. Just depends on how he times it. He's slept up to 6 hours at a time, but it's pretty rare.
Raves, rants and anything else you want to share?She'll be 8 months on the 23rd.
2-5 hours is generally her range. The long one is at night. One night waking... which wouldn't be so bad if it didn't take an hour to get her back down.

How old is LO ? How long between feedings? What is the longest LO sleeps at night? LO will be 7 months on the 23rd. 2.5-3 hours between meals during the day, and usually one waking up 1 time at night. This past weekend she slept all night on Friday and Saturday. She's been going to bed around 8:30pm, and wakes up between 2-4am.
Raves, rants and anything else you want to share? I'm glad DD is finally starting to not fight her naps. Most days mommy needs one too.
I saw that and thought hmmm..... DH would enjoy this check-in!

How's breastfeeding going this week? Any issues? Per my separate post, I'm afraid my production is declining. I'm eating my lactation cookies, oatmeal and drinking the god-awful tea and did an extra pump session today to try to nip it in the bud. Ha. I said "nip" in the breast feeling check in.
How old is LO ? How long between feedings? What is the longest LO sleeps at night? I've lost track of weeks. He's 6 1/2 months. He's been going 4 hours during the day and 3.5 - 5 at night.
Raves, rants and anything else you want to share? We've been working to break the nurse to sleep association, which means LO isn't on the breast as often during the day. I miss it! I've been trying to do lots of extra cuddle time, but little man is working on crawling and has no time for it. He's got scooting to do!

Our first pedi suggested mixing BM and formula for supplementing, but I think this was mainly a suggestion for taste for baby. Our current pedi (we moved -- we really like both pedis) recommended doing separate bottles, so you can give BM first, and if there's any waste, it will be formula and not your hard-earned liquid gold.
No issues now -- thankfully I seem to be over the mastitis/blocked ducts/milk blisters that were recurring for so many weeks.

DD is six and a half months. Still every 3-4 hours, with one 5 hour stretch if I'm lucky.

I am glad I persisted and am still able to give LO a little BM. I love how she's starting to be able to communicate when she wants milk, and how happy she is. So sweet!
But the biting! Still no teeth here yet, but her new trick is she likes to bite down and then tug like a puppy. Fun!
Now that I'm done nursing, I'm just over pumping too. I'm going to wean from pumping as fast as possible while trying to avoid clogged ducts/mastitis. Hoping to be done in a couple of weeks. I still have a bit of a freezer stash so DS will get one BM bottle a day for the next couple of months along with formula and solids.
Thanks for letting me post here! I always felt like I was in the middle - not EBFing, not quite EPing - but I really appreciate the support I've received. Good luck to all of you ladies on your BFing journeys! Enjoy every moment :-)
