we're going through the same thing right now. dd has a stuffy nose and nursed *all*night*long* the other night. and woke countless times when she lost her latch. aaah!!! last night was a little better and the milkies got a few hours break this morning, but i sure hope she cuts back soon. this is definately wearing me out!

I'm still nursing my two year old dd (she's two years old today, yay!) but I night weaned her several months ago. She nurses a lot during the day though, and sometimes it is pretty uncomfortable. I'm hoping she will wean sooner rather than later, but I'm not going to push it.

I HAVE NIPPLE PAIN


Just had to get that out there. Holy crap does it hurt! I knew you would all understand...

[laurata]

So, does anyone else notice that staying super hydrated seems to help with the nipple tenderness? Also, how do your supplies seem so far? I was noticing that my milk seems very THICK lately, and a little bit salty too. Odd.

[Ravenmoon]

I'm nursing my nearly two year old.I haven't had any tenderness or sensitivity yet.I hope it stays that way!

[Kerlowyn]

The tenderness has passed for the time being, to be replaced with nausea...ugh...
I have noticed I seem to be making more milk, because my letdown is very noticable now.

I'm nursing a 4 1/2 year old, who says, "I want to nurse till I'm 18"... so, well, we've cut back recently but he still asks for it a lot. No pain yet. I don't mind if he continues, so far.

[Jessviola]

i feel like i can't stay hydrated enough. i feel like my supply has dried up a little despite dd's marathon nursing because she keeps saying they're empty and my breasts seem smaller : i've been drinking water even more than normal, and i usually drink a lot. i carry around a 16oz glass of water everywhere i go in the house and drink well over 100oz daily. probably closer to 150 or 200 but i lose track.

I nursed my first through my second pg. I had some nipple tenderness but it came and went (usually it would last a couple of days and show up once a month or so). It wasn't until just after DS was born that nursing DD started to really get on my nerves. But I still wouldn't have done any differently. DD still needed to nurse (she was 22 months when Tony was born) and I still remember how funny she thought it was when she could feel DS kicking. It even woke her up a couple of times :-)

I'm nursing my 2 year old dd. She is weaning with encouragement from me. I don't think tandem is for me. I nursed my oldest until he self-weaned at 21 months while I was pg with #2. I am hoping that dd will wean soon. She's almost there and is ready. You should have seen the dr's face t my pre-natal appt with #2 when I told her I was still nursing ds! She almost fainted. She said she had never had a patient who was pg and still nursing. I find that hard to believe!

I am nursing Kylie, who will be 4 in July, and Jaden who is 17 Months.
Kylie only nurses at night now.

I nursed through my last pregnancy, and started to have some soreness at about 10-12 weeks-about the time my supply dropped.

I am hoping to only be tandem nursing when this baby comes

I am nursing my 24 mo and only have soreness on the left side. I am also a little annoyed with nursing, which never bothered me until now. I tandem nursed for a year last baby. We'll see...

[supervee]

I'm nursing a 3+ year old a couple times a day. I hope it doesn't start to hurt! DS doesn't show any sign of (ever) quitting.

[umsami]

I'm nursing my 6.5 month old. I'm really nervous about my milk supply drying up.. .as I'd like him to make it to at least a year (preferably longer). I keep doing positive affirmations... I have plenty of mlk...I have plenty of milk...LOL

No nipple tenderness yet...but the little guy is cutting his first tooth, which is a frightening prospect

[2sweetgrrls]

Nursing my 8 month old, no pain here *knock on wood* so far. I'm more concerned about losing my supply!

[Mirzam]

I'm still nursing my four year old, but only a couple of times a day at most, and for a few minutes only. I really think I am loosing what little supply I had, and really hoping he will wean. I nursed throughout my last pregnancy and tandem nursed for two more years (all my kids seem to wean at four), and really don't want to do it again.

[Morwenna]

I am still nursing my 28 mos old and am on the fence as to whether I would like to tandem nurse or not....I can see benefits but I think it might not be for me. We have night-weaned however, and that was a big relief! Surprisingly easy too.
