Maybe something cold (wash cloth frozen bagel etc) before nursing for the pain if you don't want to do drugs?

I have one side that is definiely a better producer for sure.

I was going to say that Amanda LOL.

I am not actually doing extended BFing right now as Colby is only 9.5mo but I hope to become a bonafide member again in 2.5 months' time.

Congrats on reaching 1yr plus mamas. You are doing a fab job for your LOs.

How many feeds are you ladies currently doing? I'm doing 2 as i said above- morning and BT- but am thinking of dropping the morning when i get back to work next week... any thoughts? I just reckon with the rush to get to my mums in the morning he won't notice it gone.

Hmmm....that's kind of the million dollar question for me right now.  I think I had planned that we would have dropped both already, but I've been a bit slow about introducing cow's milk (not that he HAS to transition to cow's milk, but it just seems easier that way) and I don't want to move away from the BFs until I have something to move him to, IYKWIM?  Plus (barring "accidents") he's our last baby and it's hard to think about not doing this ever again.  But yes, we'll probably drop the morning one first, though he is nursing to sleep less and less these days so maybe the BT feed won't be nearly as bad as I'm fearing it will be.

yeah- hamish hasn't been too bad dropping the last 2 he dropped- i found there was about a week or so transition where he still wanted the feed some days... but now he's all good. I want to keep the BT feed as that is the easiest to fit in. I'll try to get al ready in the mornings before work before i get him up- and it's just a pain to have to fit in a BF with the increasingly non BF friendly work clothes!!
