I am pumping more milk.
Like, when we started this daycare thing I was pumping generally 8 oz. And then about 10 (and about 1 ounce of that kept coming home). And now closer to 12 (though when I sent that much yesterday, he only drank about 9). I'm pumping for basically the same amount of time and at the same times of day.
He still nurses like a fiend when I am available. (And, heaven help me, I think his word for nursing might be "boop." Although I always ask him if he wants "mama milk," I have been known to say things like "I need to boob the boy" in his general presence.) He seems to be eating more table food; apparently the kid likes carbs as much as his sister. Graham cracker? Apple cider muffin? More! More! More!
So what's with the extra milk? Is my supply actually going up? Or is he simply taking less because he is, uhhh, starting to wean?
