    11 weeks and going really well but I'm worried about how our nursing relationship might be affected when I have to go back to work

    I just wanted to say how cool it is to read about all the nursing toddlers!!

    As for us, my big girl (31 months) is still nursing once a day but I think she'd quite happily nurse all day if I'd let her!! And can I just say how helpful she is when it comes to clearly clogged ducts??

    Wee guy is nine weeks and we've had a much easier run at the bf'ing than I had with his sister. Latching / nipple pain had gone by two weeks this time and aside from a touch of oversupply and OALD he nurses well Wee guy has also started the whole "suck a bit then pop off and smile at Mum" game which just melts me every time

    Checking in!! LO is 2 days old! Just getting the hang of things! We are using a nipple shield, the LC suggested it since she just won't open up to get my nipple in, then when she does she pushes it out right away.

    Nearly 5m (wow when did that happen) and nursing 6-7 times a day. Missing the days were she STTN. Luckily we don't have any issues besides a tired mommy...

    10 weeks and going really well! He nurses like a champ and takes pumped breastmilk during the day when I'm at work. I've really had no difficulties with this little guy.

    13 weeks! I went on a weeklong trip to be in a wedding and was separated from her. There was some flow preference when I came back, but starting nursing at night fixed that after a couple of days.

    Nine weeks going strong. She gets fussy in the evenings and I'm a bit worried about possible gas issues or maybe reflux but we give her one bottle a day to keep her used to taking one, and it helps to make that happen in the evenings. Night time is no problem, a couple of feedings still.

    Only on Day 10, but so far it's going really well, I think! She zones out or falls asleep while nursing a fair bit, so I have to keep waking her to remind her what she's doing, but otherwise I think we are getting the hang of it!
