Adventures in Tandem Nursing

Nope, I haven’t read the book yet, but life these days is certainly an adventure. Here are some quick thoughts on nursing a newborn and an almost 3 year old

On the bright side:
Toddlers can help with engorgement
Chanler understands that babies need to nurse
Nursing is helping Chanler deal/cope with Jessaleigh’s arrival

On the not so bright side:
More nursing means more milk and way more milk
Chanler likes to ask to “drink all the milk” and isn’t happy if he doesn’t get as much time as HE wants
Taking turns is hard
Toddlers decide when they want to nurse and don’t always cooperate with when you need them to nurse

Right now I am just taking things one day at a time. I am hoping that I get a better hang of the whole nursing/juggling two thing before Scott has to go back to work. I am SO thankful that he has as much time off as he does!!!!
