You will still be nursing her so you may not even need to worry about milk, but you could offer a small amount of it at dinner and see how she does? If you are concerned about calcium specifically,...

When she tries a couple different mega blocks to see which one might fit best on your nipple! :lol

Is she in pain? If not, I wouldn't worry about it at all!

The comments about your weight sound really mean, mama, though of course they may be well intentioned. I don't have 2 children so I can't relate to you on dividing your attention... That must be...

I'm a little confused about the packing stuff up part. Are you leaving your laptop and everything out while you're pumping in the bathroom? I guess you are comfortable pumping in the bathroom...that...

Hi mama, what happens when she refuses to nurse? Are you then offering a bottle? She might be developing a bottle preference since she knows doesn't have to work for it.

I haven't seen your other...

I think 1) it's normal for your little one to drink a small amount and 2) you can request they save your milk for a second feeding. It can just go right back into the fridge. They are used to formula...

Not night nursing at all?

I would play it safe and bring the double pump, as others have suggested. I went away for 2 nights when DD was 15 months and pumped at night before bed and by morning I...

Also to your question about amount of milk... You can probably decrease some of what you send (BM or cow or goat) or send the same and have the DCP offer some at meals but offer solids first and see...

What kind of daycare setting is he in? My DD goes to a daycare center and she moved up to the next classroom at 12 months. The new feeding schedule was dictated by the new classroom teachers. They...

Thanks for the update! That sounds very similar to where we are at 16 months. DH agrees the other day the only breaks we get are when I'm nursing. We both enjoy the quiet. DH and I are getting back...

My DD just started STTN at 15 months. It took me going out of town on a business trip for 2 nights to spur it on. And that was three weeks ago and she STTN only sporadically. Some nights she is still...

I have a 15 month old and had to go away at night recently. She still night nurses but I was also skeptical of how much I was making. I pumped 12 oz that evening and was surprised it was that much!...

Yes, we went through this when DD was learning how to crawl. It was a phase that lasted about 6 weeks for us. Some nights we tried everything and ended up having to drive her around. It was the only...

Have you tried while your baby is sleepy?

Have you ruled out thrush for the pain?

What about the little white membranes? Have those been replaced?

Sometimes when I had a suction problem I would reposition the membrane and that would instantly fix it.

Regardless of the source...

I was still nursing quite frequently at 12 months. LO is now 15 months and the difference is huge! She has really picked up eating lots of solids. It happens gradually. You may just try offering...

It is definitely normal to take 20 minutes to a half hour to pump. And in the state of New York, your employer is required to give you reasonable unpaid breaks to pump, or allow you to use your paid...

The PP have some good advice on building a stash. Pump at the same time each day and our body will begin to make more around that time too.

There are probably some good threads in the pumping...

What kind of pump are you using?

You said your supply has been great so I wouldn't worry too much! As PP said, it's normal for one to produce more too. You can offer that breast first, and also do...

I remember this. I did what you are doing and had to pump because LO had tongue tie, a high palate, and a weak suck. I would do tummy time with her and felt so guilty if I could only get a few...

:ita I was just praised by MY doctor for breastfeeding at my annual physical exam.

Mama, I'm sorry you are having so many problems. I think many of us who struggle early on feel the same way: it's almost like weaning earlier than you would like negates the entire breastfeeding...
