I am Jessee - mom to Ryan, 15.5 months old.

I am a FT working mom. I can probably help with questions on nursing and working/pumping, nursing while PG and weaning a toddler. I nursed Ryan until he was almost 14 months (stopped when I was 14 wks pg).

I commute to Manhattan - so can help with questions on LONG days and balancing it all.

I'm expecting #2 in early November - so I hope I can eventually help with 2 under 2 questions - for now, I'll be asking them
