She'll eventually slow down again, right?
DD is almost 17 months and nurses ~2x/day, a bit more on weekends but
not much. Last week she had the croup. Wouldn't eat or drink anything for 3 days but she nursed. And nursed. And nursed. It was like she was going through a growth spurt again. I didn't mind it so much as I was glad she was at least getting some fluids and nourishment (she wouldn't even take water). But now she's all better (mostly...still some rough patches but mostly ok), and she still wants to nurse All The Time. We keep offering food. She does eat some, but a few bites and stops. This from the kid who ate _everything_ - it took her awhile to get into solids but once she did, she went at them with a vengeance. She had quite a varied diet. But now it's about 80% breastmilk. Well, she's back to daycare and I'm not sending EBM so she's eating something, but she's still desperate to nurse when we get home and then all night. I'm not against continuing to nurse (provided I can get pg - TTC 4th cycle now), but I only started ovulating again when her nursing sessions cut down to 2x/day. Besides, my boobs hurt |

It might be wise to take her to the Dr again, just in case she has an ear infection or something else that is making her uncomfortable. HEr throat might still be a bit sore, in which case it will gradually ease, as will your discomfort! -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) http://chookiesbackyard.blogspot.com/ |

She's much better now.She still wants to nurse a lot, but she's eating more (the week at daycare helped). |
