seuban- has you little one had amox. before? if not be really careful, it can be super hard on their tummies. i had to take it for mastitis early on, and it gave Delaney the worse tummy ache and diarrhea like you wouldn’t believe. i have head others on this site warn about it as well, when she had an ear infection i specifically asked they didnt…[Read more]

leslie- sooo beautiful! it makes me said i dont have a picture of laneys first latch :(, but i have tons of Bfing pics of us now!

on the topic of leaking, i still leak every night, and Laney wakes to nurse at least once if not 2, or 3 times. so i just wear nursing pads to bed.

danielle- i had mastitis when Delaney was around 2 weeks. it is awful, so painful, and you feel terrible, meds will help with the infection, but in order to relieve the clogged duct you should nurse often and offer that side first, i know how painful it is, but honestly it would be 100 times more painful if you give up on nursing, you will get…[Read more]

my little Buddha belly will be 3 months in 3 days and is 18lbs, EBF! she was 8lb 13 onz 21.5 inch at birth, she wears 6m or 9m clothes, a lot of the 0-3m stuff i have for her was never worn. she isnt chubby just really solid!

2ndtimemommy- i truly believe people like that woman are the reason why the number of breastfeeding women declines from generation to generation. parents are raising boys to believe breastfeeding is taboo…and it is a sad fact that many women will not even attempt to nurse if they do not have the support of their spouse. as if it isnt bad enough…[Read more]

what is WIC? i have heard people talk about it but was always curious?

horsegal- thats pretty crazy (in a good way) best of luck with everything, keep us updated, and congrats on nursing thing long, keep up the good work lady!

tishlamp- i drink 1 cup a day, and i drink it right after i nurse laney in the morning so by the time she nurses again most of the caffeine has metabolized.

lan- i am having the same issue with weight loss, i only gained 14 lbs well pregnant and despite bring very active (walking, swimming, chasing after delaney) i am 20lbs more today than the day before giving birth. my dr wants me to have thyroid testes done, and i keep putting it off, and putting it off. i eat very healthy as well, but if i cut my…[Read more]

mrsmom- when i have a clogged duct, i can feel a hard ball in my breast. this is the second time it has happened to me, massage it under hot water, use hot compress, offer that side first, pump if you can. it feels like engorgement in that one spot and when you do work it out its instant relief. both times mine turned into mastitis and that hurts…[Read more]

i have never worried about dan rolling on Delaney, we are both really in tuned with her especially when she is in bed with us. it is the strangest thing, it is like a different level of sleep…we are both rested but so aware of your surroundings at the same time!

jmuncy- this was my comment…babybellybliss (8.5 minutes ago)
before judging i would take into consideration that there are many cultures around the world in which it is not uncommon for a child to be nursed past the age of 11. just because it is not the `norm` in your or my society doesn`t make it wrong, or gross. personally i see not harm in it.

ladies i have small breasts and i still have to hold my boob the whole time well Delaney nurses or she constantly latches and unlatches..ouch! as for nursing in public i dont wear a cover but i do wear a tank top or tube top under EVERYTHING to hide my belly. i pump once a night after Laney goes to bed and i am lucky to get 1.5 ounces from both…[Read more]

i have heard that about dryness and breastfeeding…but i have the opposite problem! its been that way since i was pregnant.

i have fed laney in a restaurant, just one of many places. i dont cover her, i mean i dont eat with a blanket over my head why should she? oh and i have never and will never nurse in a bathroom, yuck!
