Hi,

I completely understand!! I just got over being sick (again) and was very worried that I just can't handle it all. The biggest thing that helps me is keeping things as simple and routine as...

Hi everyone,

I am looking to drop our 530 pm nursing session. That is the one that happens almost as soon as I walk in the door from work. My DS is 32 months old. He nurses then, before bed,...

I've been wondering about something similar, only for us it would be the 530 pm session I'd like to drop (and it is nowhere near the last one). I've been thinking about snuggling while reading...

And on the flip side at our house I wonder sometimes if DS is thinking--"hey, stop rubbing my head, stop patting my back, stop trying to play with me, mamma! I've got work to do here and you are...

Wow, that is a big milestone! It sounds like the two of you are doing very well--you meeting her needs and your LO growing up.

I agree it is so very hard. I keep wanting to drop a feeding (DS is...

Hi,

A year ago I went on a business trip for 3 days. DS was 18 months old and resumed nursing right away. Be sure to bring a pump with you when the time comes.

Hi,

I got rid of the pump at about 13 months. DS would have some yogurt but mostly drank water during the day. He'd make up for that when we were together, believe me!

Now at 31 months (where...

Maybe ease into it by limiting the time you let her nurse during the night for a little while? Count to 20 or something?

I've been thinking about trying Dr Jay Gordon's nightweaning technique...

Hi,

I don't think you need to give him cow milk. Here is a helpful reference from kellymom. There is an italicized sentence precisely about your question.

Congrats to both of you and welcome! :clap

Oh yes, this will pass. I think my DS had a vocabulary spurt around 20 months and was waking up many times during the night. Now, at 30 months it is more like once or twice.

I really admire you...

I used a Medela Pump in Style at work, and one time the little white flappy things weren't attached quite right. This ruined the suction until I took them off and put them back on again. I've also...

Hi,

I'd vote for as soon as you get to work in the morning. Pumping before you leave home (I kept a manual pump at home for just this reason) in the morning would also work, I imagine, but I...

I am glad this turned out well and that your DS is doing so great!!!

Hi,

I would think she would eat some of those times but not all. I think I traveled to a board meeting for a couple of days when DS was about 10 months, and what I remember from that first trip...

I seem to recall that my guy started drinking a lot less around this time, maybe 1 serving (3 or 4 ounces) of expressed milk a day. I think he also drank water, maybe enjoying the novelty of it. I...

My guy asked at daycare in the fall! They didn't know what he was saying because he says 'opposite side' or 'opposide' when he wants to nurse. I told him that just like it is only Robert that...

Hi,

I think it will depend on how much she is nursing during the day at that point. You might not have to pump at all, or you might want to pump once in the middle of the day for the first week...

If you scroll way down on this board there is basically a food section--feeding your family, weight loss, and allergies. Let's see if I can make an internal link work.

I am sorry you got busted in on! Ugh. Like it isn't hard enough. This makes me want to get on my soapbox about maternity leave not being long enough...

Anyway, I had to have a conversation about...

Hi,

We noticed that my guy had a dairy allergy after he turned a year old. We started introducing cow's milk mixed with BM at daycare so that I could stop pumping at work. He was unusually...

Hi,

Congratulations on the baby and your determination to pump for her while you are working! It sounds like you are getting plenty of milk from pumping considering that your baby is still...

I am afraid I don't have any BTDT advice for you. Lately I've been thinking how great it would be if DS weaned all on his own in the next few months but I see no evidence that is happening any time...

Oh yes, you are not alone! I find that sometimes DS will nurse for ages. Occasionally it will make sense to me later in that he'll suddenly develop a new skill or that things will have been...

Hi,

Like previous posters I mostly left the PIS at work. A couple of times I had to bring the pump, a cooler, and my laptop to a day-long conference or meeting. Then I slipped the laptop into a...
