2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? Just depends on the day and how busy we are. Sometimes only once sometimes 10 times a day.
3. What is your LO's name for nursing? "Mmm-ahs"
4. Have you had to give up any foods due to allergies in your LO? No. I give major props to all the mspi and other allergy moms!
Pregnant & BFing Moms: How are you doing this week? Any issues with supply, pain, aversion? Questions for other moms? Im 18w and my supply is pretty nonexistent now. I can barely squeeze anything out. But it doesn't hurt so we will continue.
Non-breastfeeding question of the week:
Do you have New Year's Eve plans? Just going to get together with my parents and a couple close friends to play some board games and set off a few fireworks. Nothing huge.
2. How many times per day does your LO nurse? 2x (wake-up and bedtime)
3. What is your LO's name for nursing? She is just starting to say real words and doesn't have a word for nursing yet. I'm interested to see if she comes up with one.
4. Have you had to give up any foods due to allergies in your LO? No, we haven't encountered any allergies.
Non-breastfeeding question of the week:
Do you have New Year's Eve plans? Only if "plans" include relaxing on the couch with DH after work and probably going to bed by 10 pm! We've never been big NYE people, so it's kind of nice to have LO as an excuse not to go out.

Not preg but planning on TTC in about 3-4 months.
Questions for other moms?
Any issues with getting pregnant while BFing for anyone? We got pregnant quickly the first two times but a little worried BFing may impact that and/or anyone have an OB not supportive of continued BFing while pregnant ?

My sister babysat so we could go to dinner. We were home by 9 and in bed by 10. Of course dd wanted in on the countdown so she woke to nurse at 1159am so she was my Nye kiss.

Non-breastfeeding question of the week:
Do you have New Year's Eve plans? Ha. I'm a little late to the check-in. However, we didn't go out. DH and I watched a movie then watched the ball drop in NYC (which was 10pm where we live). We were in bed soon after that. Haven't made it to midnight in several years!
2. She nurses on demand (if it's excessive I try to dissuade her) so it can be anywhere over 4 times during the day and at least 2 at night. It's usually more.
3. She's asks for Bee-bee or Bee Bah-tee when she wants to nurse. Bee-bee/Bee = Breast and Bah-tee = Milk.
4. Not really. I had to give up coffee bc it was throwing off her nap schedule.
5. Nursing while pregnant is going alright. My nips are still extra sensitive but no pregnancy related aversions. I can usually get her to stop twiddling/asking to twiddle by telling her she has a choice: no twiddling or no Beebee.
6. We went out for sushi but mostly bc neither DH not I wanted to cook. Then we came home and crashed by 10pm.
i did not have any trouble getting pregnant while BFing. we got pregnant the first cycle trying with DS and again with this baby. DS was 26 months and nursing 3x a day when we conceived. i'd gotten my period back when he was 12 months old. my cycles had been long, but relatively regular.
my OB said he thought i should work on weaning DS when i mentioned it at my first pregnancy appointment, but he hasn't mentioned it again. i think he was coming from the perspective of it being an added strain on my body, b/c i felt like death at that first appointment. he's very patient-centered, though, so i don't think he's really going to push it.
