That’s so sweet! Seriously made me well up…sniff sniff.
Little Man was a frequent and furious nurser, too. I would often get, HE NEEDS TO EAT AGAIN?!?!?!! Yes, yes he does.
Now at almost eight months, we’re not really on a “schedule” per se, but we have dramatically cut down on the frequency of feedings, which is definitely a relief.
It only took what seemed like forever, heh.
Good luck, you two will get there.

I had similar well-meaning friends suggest that I wean just because it was inconvenient (for them and our visit). Good support can be hard to find. I *heart* Julian. That’s so cute.

And clearly, wearing a dress is more important than nourishing your child. sheesh.

My 2 1/2 year old girl says exactly the same things. Whenever I sit down to nurse, she brings me the boppy and asks me “Do you need the purple cream [Lansinoh]? For your nipples?”

She also loves to stroke Baby A’s head and “hug” her while I’m breastfeeding, which I sometimes find annoying. I’m trying to get her to give us a little space.
