I'm still nursing 2yo DS. He has actually increased his nursing lately, which I attribute to the arrival of colostrum. He was dry nursing for several weeks and that was really rough. I WOH full time, so he doesn't get to nurse during the day on weekdays, but he usually wants to nurse a little when I get home from work. He nurses to sleep, sometimes once or twice in the middle of the night, and has a marathon session in the morning starting at about 5-5:30am when we are still in bed. That morning session lasts anywhere from a half hour to an hour (sometimes longer). On weekends, he nurses 3-4 times during the day, including going down for his nap, in addition to the night/morning nursings.
I fully expect to be tandem nursing for a loooong time. My fear is how to handle the night nursings as DS really just jumps over me to go from one boob to the other whenever he wants to right now. It's going to be a challenge to set some boundaries with him.
I have been having strange nipple pain lately. It doesn't seem to be the same pain that has been present since I got pregnant that I know is hormone related. I'm going to ask my midwife about it today. Do you have any soreness while nursing still? Is it normal to still be sore in teh 3rd trimester?
