Like literally, I almost started a post with the exact same questions, aside from lo being too young for wcm. But I have a large freezer stash to bridge the gap. How is your lo doing with the sippy for water? We've tried putting milk in it a few times and she has done well - I just don't know if she's ready for it full time. Sorry this wasn't that helpful, but congrats on making it a year!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-end-in-neigh#post-1856430 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 12:43:27 +0000 Chillybear 1856430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Vegmama: Thanks! one day at a time, you know...</p> <p>@Mamaof2: thanks for your input, i know every situation is different but glad to feel like i'm on the right page or at least in the right book </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-end-in-neigh#post-1856407 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 12:36:27 +0000 Mamaof2 1856407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: With my 1st my supply tanked at 10 months and guess what also happened - my cycle returned! I made it to 11 months and then couldn't pump the 12oz/day I needed so we started DS on Coconut milk (dairy allergy) at 11 months with my ped's concurrence.</p> <p>He continued to nurse at home until I weaned him at 20 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-end-in-neigh#post-1856383 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 12:30:28 +0000 Vegmama 1856383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry I don't have advice, but I wanted to say congrats on making it to a year!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-end-in-neigh#post-1856294 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 11:56:48 +0000 Chillybear 1856294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ALSO: We sleep trained back in july and she has done really well sleeping through the night from about 8:30-5 since then. I'm kind of surprised that my supply is getting so low and i have yet to get my period back. (FWIW: I dont think i'm KU, i've been on BC since 6 weeks PP, no symptoms) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-end-in-neigh#post-1856277 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 11:51:35 +0000 Chillybear 1856277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our BF journey has had its fair share of ups and downs. We started off well once we got over the beginning issues, hit a low point when i went back to work, started supplementing around 5 months. She did great when we introduced solids and still nurses in the morning and before bed and I pump 3 times at work. </p> <p>We're about 2 weeks from LO turning 1! and with our Peds "Ok" we started the WCM transition last week. My supply has been lessening for a while now and in 3 pumps i'm only netting about 6 oz (one 4oz bottle and 2 oz to mix with cereal) a day. she also gets a 4oz bottle of formula and 4oz 1/2 formula 1/2 WCM which we'll be increasing slowly. So far no issue tolerating the cow's milk.</p> <p>So my questions....<br /> 1. If my supply is tanking, is she getting enough before bed an in the am? the last 2 mornings she hasnt seemed satisfied until she nurses twice on both sides</p> <p>2. She drinks out of a sippy cup filled with water, should we also be making the switch from bottle to sippy for milk? If yes, recommendations</p> <p>3. I'm trying out dropping pumps at work and only pumping at 11 &amp; 3. Will i dry up completely? its really taking a toll on my day as we're entering our busy season but i'd like to continue nursing at night and in the am</p> <p>I just want to be sure she's getting enough to eat nutritionally. She enjoys a wide variety of foods but definitely "eats to live" rather than "lives to eat" We don't go back to the Dr until mid Oct for her 1 yr appt. </p> <p>Any other suggestions or bits of advice on making this transitions is appreciated! </p>
