I sucked up my new people nervousness and went to a La Leche League meeting Wednesday night. Our Bradley Class recommended trying one out and to be honest, before they even mentioned it I had already thought about giving it a try. Nothing like a little support for the ta-tas before they take over my […]
Baby Bond
I ran across a steal ($10) for what seems to be an awesome nursing cover from Baby Bond. Mine came in the mail today so I gave Dominic a fashion show so he could see how easy it is to use (he was mildly amused) … now all I need is a baby! This cover […]
Not Victoria’s Secret
Nursing bras.Yikes.Not really something I want to think about. I already have a hard enough time finding semi-attractive bras for my girls. My ma blessed me with quite a pair (yep, mom, I’m calling you out for your boob genes). As much as I love Nordstrom, my visits to their lingerie department always make me […]
When Baby Eats
I pretty much have the menu for baby’s first 6-9 months figured out (breastmilk), but after that I feel like I am tossed into a whirlwind of choices. What to foods to start with and when … When to introduce new things … The organic dilemma … Avoiding choking hazards … {fear ensues} All while […]

Blog Friend’s Soap Box (and maybe my future one)
I haven’t embarked on my breastfeeding journey … but it’s coming. At the moment I’m a bit consumed by the science of it. But, these types of posts always catch my eye … read the “Nursing in Public War” and let me know what you think. I think she’s got a pretty valid point.
Nordstrom Pumps & Breast Pumps
Back in the day, which consists of life pre-January 2010, Nordstrom pumps made my heart beat a little faster. You know, the ones that make your feet feel like a princess? Pumps are now a part of the past, and breast pumps are my future :) At least for a little while … On Tuesday, […]
Study: Breast-feeding would save lives, money
The whole story is here.These are the snippets I appreciated … The lives of nearly 900 babies would be saved each year, along with billions of dollars, if 90 percent of U.S. women fed their babies breast milk only for the first six months of life, a cost analysis says. The magnitude of health benefits […]
