Can it be sucked out by DH?! I'm sure I've heard that
I think I heard that too.. no experience with it though.

Hope you feel better soon.

I asked him and he wasn't too keen

I can't feel a lump or anything it just feels bruised and feels a bit sore when Evie nurses from that side

Hello!! Can I join?

My little Sophie is now 9.5 months and still going strong!

She only feeds 4 times a day now though. Early morning, after her first nap, after her second nap and before bed.

She's not a comfort feeder unless she's ill, but I cherish the 4 feeds she has a day! Hoping to go on for a long time, but I think after her birthday she will soon be weaning to just the morning and evening feed .

Hi Lauki ive seen you around the forum

I remember when Evie got to about 15 months or so i done 'dont offer, dont refuse' which basically is a very very gentle way to wean.. Dont offer the breast but dont refuse if your LO asks

She slowly started to reduce the amount of time a the breast and also how many times she wanted to nurse

Hi everyone.. hope you are all doing well

I am wondering when any of you got AF? I haven't had it yet, but since LO has dropped his night feeds, I have been feeling more and more hormonal. I keep getting crampy feelings, but then nothing. It could just be a sign of ovulation?
Should I start bringing pads/tampons with me just in case?

Hi canadabear, mine only back a couple of months ago but I think now that it was due to the contraceptive pill rather than breastfeeding as they came back when I stopped the pill (along with my sense of humour )

I've heard a lot of ladies get AF back when they night wean/cut down feeds so I'd say she's about yo pay you a visit soon!

I got my AF back after 10 months (to the day!) with my first. No sign yet with this one but I have been getting EWCM and am rather hormonal (just for a change!) so I think she might be on her way. If I remember correctly I had a couple of months where I got some EWCM before I actually got AF last time so maybe I've got a while yet.

Can't hurt to have some supplies in the baby change bag just in case!

I haven't had mine yet and Sophie hasn't fed in the night for about 1.5 months now!

To be fair, I don't miss AF one bit !

I haven't had mine back yet though DD (14 months) is still drinking quite often. It took til 18 months after my first baby, so will wait and see with the second - I am quite happy having no AF and am not keen for its return.

I know what you mean.. I am SO not looking forward to it returning.

But I don't want to be caught out without anything. Still nothing, but having cramping and hormonal surges..

I am actually feeling really sad at the thought of LO stopping, as he has been reducing the amount at each feed quite a bit over these past few days. It freaked me out a bit.. and I find myself worrying that he is suddenly not taking in enough nutrition.. And here he is, above the ninety-eighth percentile for both weight and hight.
I need to start trusting that he knows what he needs and when he needs it.
