My 1st NIP comment
Last night while I was at my daughter's Irish Step recital, another mother
saw me nursing Xander and came up to me and said "he nurses so well!" We went on to talk about how he has always refused a bottle so it wasn't ever an option for me to feed him EBM. She mentioned that's how her older daughter was too but went on to say that she only nursed her 2 yr old for a few months. I guess because her daughter was always distracted and it was a battle to keep her on the breast. Before going back to her seat, she thanked me for nursing and said it was so nice to see and wished she saw more mom's doing it. I was in such a good mood the rest of the night because of that!! I've had smiles from people before but no one has ever talked to me about it. Oh, but speaking of being easily distracted, is that a normal 4-5 month old thing? Lately I have been having a really hard time keeping him interested in eating. It's pull on the blanket (if we're in public) and expose me, lol. At home, its always something else and he does the suck, suck, look around, suck, suck, look around the whole time and it's kind of frustrating. Lately, he will twist his body so he's looking backwards and then start sucking on my arm. What a crazy kid he is! On another note - for the past 5 days, he's gone to bed around 8:00 and slept until 6:30 with 1 feeding around 3 AM. The best part is, he's only up for 10 minutes! WooHoo!! Im so hoping this keeps up Kari no-longer-sleep-deprived mom to Kaylie (8) Noah (4) and Xander (5 mos) |

Oh, yeah, when my son was that age, I couldn't even nurse him in the same room with my daughter or husband - every 3 minutes he'd stop nursing to check out what they were doing. Clisby |

... Last night while I was at my daughter's Irish Step recital, another mother saw me nursing Xander and came up to me and said "he nurses so well!" That's so nice! I've never had anyone comment to me while NIP, either good or bad. Oh, but speaking of being easily distracted, is that a normal 4-5 month old thing? Ooooooh, yes. I'm sure that's why Jaden started nursing so much at night during that time, because he couldn't focus on nursing for long enough to get enough to eat. On another note - for the past 5 days, he's gone to bed around 8:00 and slept until 6:30 with 1 feeding around 3 AM. The best part is, he's only up for 10 minutes! WooHoo!! Im so hoping this keeps up That's so great Kari! I hope it keeps up for you too. -- Cheryl S. Mom to Julie, 2 yr., 11 mo. and Jaden, 6 months Quiet down, cobwebs. Dust go to sleep. I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep. |

That's where the nursing canopies come in handy, but you have to get them used to it before they start getting distracted. |

It's pull on the blanket (if we're in public) and expose me, lol. This sounds a lot like my DD, who is 4.5 months. She's always looking around the room (usually with nipple still in mouth, ouch), and has a new habit of trying to stick her finger in her mouth while nursing. She just nurses for a few minutes at a time now but seems satisfied so I guess she's increased her efficiency. Too much else to do these days, I guess. On another note - for the past 5 days, he's gone to bed around 8:00 and slept until 6:30 with 1 feeding around 3 AM. The best part is, he's only up for 10 minutes! WooHoo!! Im so hoping this keeps up Yay!! Mine is getting there as well, usually asleep at 7, nurse at around 11 and 4 and sleep until 7. Much better than before. Isn't it amazing what sleep can do for us?
