Can I ask one more question - are you still pumping too or just nursing on demand? How many times a day do you nurse? Thanks!

No, I'm not pumping...haven't since she was a week old (she nursed so much I didn't need to or have time to).
Maisie nurses ALOT! Maybe 12x per day and wakes4-5x per night to nurse. She's quite chunky 25 lbs at 12 mos old (not sure how tall but is at 48th percentile for height, 95th for wght). She also takes very few solids so most of her nourishment 95% or more comes from me.
How about you...same questions?

Hello,

I rarely pump anymore - although I will if I miss a nighttime feeding (I go to school a few nights a week). I also just nurse on demand which is quite a bit too - 10-15 times a day depending on how busy we are. Khosi sleeps all night now and has since he was about 14 months - he is almost 19 months now. We usually give him a bottle before bed as he rarely eats much dinner and by that time of night I don't have much milk either as he continually nurses all day!

He also does not eat much in the way of solids - he used to do great but has gotten very picky! He was 25 lbs when we picked him up at 5 months (chunky monkey) - but now he is only 28.8lbs at 19 months - he's really slimmed down!

I dropped my dom back down to 90 mg and started the fenugreek again - I have never taken the BT so I don't think I'll start now. I thought about it this weeekend and realized that I gained the most weight when I went from 90 mg to 120 mg this past summer. We'll see if this helps...

Hi Africa 123,
I too need to give Maisie a bottle at night as I am "out" by then...she only takes about 3oz but really seems to NEED it...my stored supply of B-milk is running low though.

What "kind" of bottle do you give him? Your milk, cow's milk..???


PS I also sent you a private message in case you want to chat "in-person".
