I think that the issue is more where are you going to be with solids at that point. Because the "magic" of 12 months is really about that being where weaning should begin. So if you are wanting to be...

Yep. Totally normal. Her wanting to stay on the breast is about her working to regulate your milk supply. Let her at it! Wrap your mind around the fact that these 1st weeks will really be about...

ME! I did! I did! The 1st 4.5 months actually. Worse on one side than the other. On that side if felt like he was pulling steel or needles out of my breast when he would latch. I half expected him to...

I would work on Dropping the day time sessions 1st. Over the course of about 3 weeks. One session a week to avoid engorgement. And lets talk about the rest of it after that? Because honestly even...

Normal. It doesn't have to be in your bed. You can switch it up and go watch movies or send out announcements or play on the laptop from the couch. But the feeding every 2.5 hour AT LEAST (this...

I'm left handed. So no.

Yes if you want to even out feed on the smaller side three time to every two on the heavier side.
Yes to picking back up on the same side of the feeding was minimal.
Clicking is how a less...

What about Preschool?

Be patient, calm and KNOW that a child that is striking can ALL their needs met by nursing in their sleep or while sleepy UNTIL they stop striking. The refusal of food as well as the biting sounds...

Yeah when I was nursing my 3 year old I would STOP when it hurt. And at that age we could certainly discuss my pain. Also if you KNOW there is going to be no nap after lunch I would DROP that...

Totally normal. You need to wrap your mind around the fact that YOU shouldn't be focusing on anything BUT nursing for another 2-4weeks. My cousin nursed her twins for 3.5 years. And the 1st 6 weeks...

But that is because she doesn't have to do the work that you need to to get the milk from the breast. Which you WANT her to do. The bottle is dripping milk into her mouth. All she has to do is...

My boobs were how you described. And pre-baby the left was always bigger than the right. (Everyone has a dominant boob) And by doing that I was able to even up size and production. When I didn't work...

If you want your breast to even out you can make them. You just have to nurse on the right side more. Like Try beginning every feed over there. My left breast was also larger and the larger producer...

Keep up the good work! 6 months is so hard because they begin to teeth. But you are definitely doing right by your baby. And in terms of how long you are going to parent this child, a year of pumping...

I didn't make him special food. He ate what we eat at the year point. And I absolutely let him graze. As in if he didn't finish lunch we would move his plate from the highchair to the coffee table so...

By being more diligent about food and including your child in the the ritual of meal times NOW. By 10 months old my son was eating 3 formal meals a day. In that I sat him in the highchair at some...

Well...if we are going down THIS road. I was never able to get pregnant again even with YEARS of trying and $$$ spent on treatments. Which makes me sad. But I take some comfort in the fact that I...

Is there another space that you and the baby can sleep in? I fully support co-sleeping and me and my son slept in another space away from my DH for over 3 years. But I think he is less likely to be...

Also I don't know if you are already doing this but We were talking about weaning and big boys not needing to nurse for like a YEAR before we actually weaned. Which was good because it created some...

mmmm. I am fine with weaning. But I think it definitely SHOULD be a process. And it's not fair to your child to go cold turkey because you have not put boundaries in place for him. Do that. A 4 year...

How is that going to help exactly?

Some babies cry more than other. Some babies are what we called "High Need" meaning they startle easy and/or really really need to be held ALL.THE.TIME. That is just the way they are wired. I promise...

Meh. At the 4 year point weaning is generally a process not an overnight thing. There is such a thing as relapsing. And allowing it. Especially in a situation where your girl is trying to have a...

How long as she been doing the 8hour stretch at night? I missed that. I agree that is a long time. I wouldn't wake her. But I would get up and pump at some point in there as to not have your supply...
