Milking mommas, check in...

[Mingle Bells]

Who do we have? Is it just Tarto and Mamabirdie?

How are things going for you guys?

[Ringlette]

I think they are the only two, but hopefully in the next few months we will have more.:thumbsup

I am not currently lactating. Well, actually I am, but it's very different stuff and not a lot. The girls tried it a few months ago, and were totally disgusted.:lmao I wonder how long it takes to dry up after you nursed for 2 years.:dunno

[Pop Tart]

Checking in!

Do they make bathing suits for nursing mamas?

[SnowBirdie]

we are at 27 months and still going strong. they still love their nanny, and it is just so sweet how they are at this age with their "nanny".

annie will say, "mommy, nanny time now and annie wants left nanny today." amanda will say, "annie wants left and amanda wants right." they proceed to get the correct side and snuggle up to each other...lol. now they like to rest a bit and lie against the one still nursing, too, and stroke the other's hair.

of course, this is in between them trying to read books while nursing (ow) and and suddenly switching sides with no warning. how do they do that? all of a sudden they just both get up and switch. amazing...lol.

anyway, they nurse about 4-5 times a day still, and despite some lazy latches due to distractions they are doing wonderfully! :cowdance :frolic

[SnowBirdie]

oh, and i have seen nursing swimsuits at motherwear.com, including plus size, but they are pricey.

[SnowBirdie]

tarto, how old are the babies who are nursing still? it is nice to know someone else is around here. :)

[Pop Tart]

They're 8 months, almost 9 :tear

Thanks for the link :)

27 months, congrats!! That's HUGE!!

[SnowBirdie]

yes, it is huge...lol. i have to say it is great since they are so healthy and happy, though. they sometimes now will ask for milk (soy, can't have dairy) and nanny too, and i can see a gradual shift to 4 nursings a day instead of 5-6. that sure works for me...lol.

they now bring a stuffed teletubby or favorite animal to get some nanny too. it is really sweet. i am glad they will see a female body as nurturing and strong, and i hope that sticks with them alter. :frolic

Im breast feeding my little girl, I've had my ups and downs, But am still holding strong as of now.......... 6 weeks

[Ringlette]

:woot PD! I knew you could do it! Pretty soon it will be second nature, and you will wonder why you ever thought bottles would be easier!:hugs

[Bella~*]

:woot

[SnowBirdie]

:frolic :cheer for mommy milk and all the mommies bf!:woot

[gypsymom]

I have 6 month old boys who are still exclusively breastfed. The first couple months of it were the worst of my life, but it is so worth it now. I can't imagine dealing with all those bottles...

[Mingle Bells]

:frolic
So glad to hear you are providing such a valuable thing for your babies :luv
Keep it up, Momma!!!

[SnowBirdie]

cool, gypsymom! they are lucky babies! that is really awesome you stuck with it!:banana :clap :clap :clap i agree it is much easier...nothing like having that milk ready to go any time, is there? :)

[zak frost]

I have no clue how people bottle feed twins.

[SnowBirdie]

i dont' either. besides the expense added to all those diapers, carrying around bottles and keeping them cool, along with washing all that stuff...wow! the girls love to pat my breasts and say, "nannies keeping milk warm for annie and amanda." silly girlies:teehee

[gypsymom]

My six month boys are 18 and 22 lbs and are still exclusively breastfed!

[SnowBirdie]

coolness! you must give cream, gypsymom!:yum
