I'm almost 20mo postpartum with no period yet. DS is a heavy nurser (he's still light on solids) and co-sleeper. I have no idea what our longest stretch is without nursing; maybe 4 or 5 hours at...

Ouch! The molars/canines are rough. I remember from not so long ago 6 night wakings being the norm.

Smoothies made with frozen fruits were especially popular with my son when he was teething. His...

Books are our favourite media, and our family seems to share our passion. We keep a running list of titles that my son enjoys for gifting occasions, which our friends and family find helpful.

It's just past noon here and we've already nursed 4 times. I'd say DS19mo nurses anywhere from 8-16x/day, with the average around 12. Teething seems to have wrapped up, so night nursings (we...

Definitely standard EBF fare! I'll elaborate shortly...

I think I said this originally, but way to go DH!

(Deleted an accidental double post.)

I would opt to take a vacation at a later time, tempting though the vacation might seem now, or to organize a separate family vacation that doesn't necessitate separation. That's a lot of time to be...

The WHO chart publishes curves ranging from 3rd percentile through 97th percentile, so colloquially being "off the chart" means falling either below 3rd percentile or above 97th percentile.

Oops, just deleted a double post! Butterfingers!

Having BTDT at the same age, I completely understand how heart-wrenching it can be for a child not to nurse for a longer than usual period. It's also a real pain to keep getting bitten.

That being...

Nursing your child on demand...even those little drive-by latches...is a beautiful way to instil a sense of confidence, independence, and being loved in your child. Don't for a second feel that you...

Another nursing compliment: DS now refers to my breasts as "yummy boobs". This line is usually delivered amid big gulps with a toothy, giggly grin.

*Happy sigh*

I loooove toddler nursing.

I had a similar experience with my son when he was 9-12 months: height 95%ile+, head circumference 75%+, weight 15%ile. Other than slow weight gain, what tipped me off to supply issues in my case...

First, hugs to you Mama!!

My son is just waking from a nap, so I will be back later with more comments.For the time being, I would pursue the following strategy:

1. Not force feed your child,...

You're reading a book about anatomy together that features a picture of a nursing mother and baby, and your LO gleefully shouts out, amid giggles, "Nurse! Boob out!"

My son is 17 months old and didn't really start eating "heartily" until about 15 months. He, too, is a carnivore/lactivore even now. He oscillates from EBM, to eating a few nibbles here and there, to...

My son is now 17mo and still wakes 3-4 times each night between 10pm and 8am. We bed share. He nurses solidly on both sides at each waking, so I respect his nighttime nursing needs as both desire for...

Another uninformed ped. Add him to the pile and ignore the scientifically unsubstantiated tripe he's trying to feed you. :)

Welcome to the forum!!

If the mauling is primarily between letdowns, you could do compressions to give her help.

Otherwise, you could redirect to a nursing necklace or small plush toy. Failing that, there's always...

I love toddler nursing. It really has become much more than "just" nourishment. :)

For further reassurance, my son didn't gain any weight from 9-12 months, and then less than a pound through 15...

I started about 3 months ago when my son was 12-13 months old. He was slow to eat solids, nursed 10-12x+/day, and would stay on the breast for a long time (15+ mins) with minimal drinking once or...

Awesome! I'm delighted that she's responding well so quickly! Very excited for you! :)
