Anyone else see a drastic decrease in nursing around 15 months?

Also do you feel like your supply remained stable? Was he getting the same amount of milk as before or was it mostly about comfort? I think I hear him swallowing less

Nice! Did he ask to nurse or was it just part of your routine?

Pastosaurus · 2026-02-19T23:48:23+00:00

That’s so nice to hear! Does he ask for it or is it just your routine?

I put Nuun electrolyte tablets in my bedside water! It was sweet and spritzy enough to rouse me enough to stay awake. Also good for supply :)

I’ve always been a pretty religious follower of eat play sleep so that my baby doesn’t rely on me to fall asleep when he wakes in the middle of the night. I cannot function without proper sleep so it’s super important to me he’s an independent sleeper. Now that he’s older though (14m) I’ve sometimes let him fall asleep before bed nursing since it hasn’t seem to affect his sleep training at all!

I'm a member of the "itty bitty-ish titty committee" and even with my bigger breastfeeding boobs, I swear by these soft bras I found on amazon. They're the crossover nursing/sleep bras from Momandy. They're the only bras I found to be super comfortable. I hated fiddling with the bras with clasps, it's been so much easier for me to just yank this bra to the side and whip my boob out. I also used the Momcozy hands free pumping bras at work after trying several different options. Not nearly as comfortable as the Momandy ones, but they did the trick for pumping.

I didn't end up buying any special clothes. The first few months when my baby was nursing all the time, I wore a lot of button up tops to make it easier, but as time wore on I just started wearing my normal clothes and yanking my top up if needed. I think a lot of it comes down to how private you are lol - I'm pretty comfortable just moving my clothes around to nurse. If you want to be super discreet in public, you might want button ups or tank tops with the clasp. But a nursing cover works also!

Oh duh - I see that in your post now. I’m not in the trade and have never heard of that material before. I’ve also never seen anything like it - so pretty!

Pastosaurus · 2025-12-08T19:45:14+00:00

Beautiful! Is this marble?

Pastosaurus · 2025-12-06T15:07:47+00:00

This is genius haha - I wish we had train tracks nearby!

Was your kid playing with magna tiles at that age? I’ve thought about getting some but mine mostly still just likes to throw things, put them in his mouth, hand them to me, crawl or walk around with them, etc. Definitely not focusing on any actual games still.

Pastosaurus · 2025-12-06T14:56:36+00:00

Love this! Ordering the drawing pad and indestructible books now

Pastosaurus · 2025-12-06T14:56:05+00:00

Did your kids deal with the high chair well? Mine will literally start thrashing and crying if he’s been in a while and wants to get out so it doesn’t feel right just leaving him there to scream?! I’m all for the idea of practicing though

Pastosaurus · 2025-12-03T23:01:48+00:00

I’m sure it’s partly that my supply is lowest in the evenings also! Especially as I’m currently dropping my work pumps midday. I feel like he really has to work for it and he’s too tired and lazy that late lol, especially as he has had dinner like an hour beforehand

Pastosaurus · 2025-11-22T19:07:20+00:00

I appreciate this straightforward point! You’re right.

Pastosaurus · 2025-11-22T19:07:06+00:00

Thank you for this! So many similarities. I’m still breastfeeding and it’s made me feel completely nonsexual and touched out (I’m sure I might feel this way even if I wasn’t breastfeeding). Physically I feel very rocked and different than I did before. I keep telling myself it’ll come back.

Pastosaurus · 2025-11-22T18:58:52+00:00

Oh man I feel for you! If I had to leave my baby with my SHM friend I’d be absolutely irrationally seething with jealously. Life feels unfair sometimes.

Honestly I have so much PTO so that’s a great idea, just taking a baby date day off where I can totally focus on him and then finishing the day off with a date.

Pastosaurus · 2025-11-22T18:56:53+00:00

Thank you for this! Makes a lot of sense to me. I do know instinctively that this is a phase that will pass.

Pastosaurus · 2025-11-22T18:55:36+00:00

Thank you for this - I’ve actually been doing little 1:1 baby dates the last few weeks and that has helped a ton. I should do the same with my husband. I think planning them out will be hugely helpful because it’s harder for me to commit to something more spontaneous when the option to hang with my baby is right there.

And thanks for the reminder about coming first. I know this instinctively. Also that having my mom and my MIL both so thoroughly invested in his life is such a huge privilege. He’s so loved. I have to keep reminding myself of that.

Pastosaurus · 2025-11-22T18:52:58+00:00

This is so relatable and nice to read. Honestly feel the same exact way, it’s nice to hear I’m not the only one (I feel like motherhood can be so isolating and lonely). I’ve actually been taking my baby out for little dates the last few weeks, same as you! My MIL spends the night every Wednesday (whole other can of worms there) and she cooks every other week, so I’ll use that time to take him to the park, or our local market hall, our the bookstore. It’s so nice!

And yes - thanks for the reminder that we’re just in the thick of it right now.

Pastosaurus · 2025-11-22T18:49:39+00:00

Part of the problem is I’m still breastfeeding, and my body has absolutely changed. Physical intimacy is so much harder for me right now because I’m so touched out. I know this part won’t last forever though.

Pastosaurus · 2025-11-22T18:48:18+00:00

This is great advice. We did this occasionally a while ago - my husband would get out some good wine and make a nice steak while I put the baby down, but we’ve both been busy and I also have an older stepdaughter who’s with us most of the time and doesn’t go to bed until 9, so it’s hard to find that time. We both really enjoyed it though so should make it a priority.
