"Extended BFers" - how often do you nurse?
I realized yesterday DS didn't nurse between the hours of 11:30am and 7:30pm. Oops! DH was home and it was his birthday and I just got distracted. We went out for a late lunch 9waiting for his majesty to wake from his 2.5 hour nap - of course, only when we want him to wake does he actually sleep!) and Kai ate a lot there, then we did a little shopping, then we ate dinner not that long after getting home - so he ate plenty and he drank water with a little juice in it. If he was telling me he wanted to nurse at some point, I must have missed it!
So it got me to wondering how often older babies/toddlers are nursing? I don't want to wean yet, but I guess it would be OK if he didn't want to nurse during the day. Although it sure is easier to bring my boobs on an outing than it is to remember to pack some healthy food for him, but I guess I'll have to get used to that!!
