Tanya, another breastfeeding mom of two boys, like myself submitted a guest post to talk about her experiences breastfeeding and how she could not live without her breast pump!  I can fully relate to her post and I think it is very valuable information for new mothers.  In fact, if you’d be interested in more [...]

#Breastfeeding, not just for infants

August 25, 2011

I was breastfeeding my 6 month old to sleep the other night as my two and a half year old was climbing over me, fussing because he was beyond tired, but did not want to go to sleep.  At that moment I remembered reading somewhere that a mother said she wouldn’t have made it through [...]

August 4, 2011

For a full-time working mama like myself, nursing my baby really keeps me going. I return from my 10 hour day at the office to greet my sweat little 5 month old who has probably wondering why his comfortable boob has been replaced with a cold hard glass bottle. I scoop him up, give him [...]

December 22, 2009
