A Breastfed, Cloth Diapered Baby’s Sleepy Prayer | #clothdiapers #breastfeeding
I think most of us can relate! Jett's Sleepytime Prayer Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray for my mommy and the laundry heap. I always poop twice before I wake. Two more cloth diapers to the pile she'll take. To go back to sleep it's more milk for me. I don't think I'll tell her, I just had to pee.
Posh Pads Breast Pads – 40% off| Zulily Deals #Breastfeeding
Posh Pads - 40% off Posh Pads Robyn, Posh Pad's creator who breastfed all six of her children, wanted to change the face of breastfeeding. She suffered from less-than-desirable nursing accessories with each child, and noticed that style and comfort seemed to take the back seat on even the most basic necessities like nursing pads. The ones she could find were either itchy and disposable or reusable and boring.

Not-so-Cool Product of the Day | Bababib Baby Feeding Aid
Have you seen this product? I really can't say that I have anything nice or productive to say about the Bababib feeding aid! Some of these, I can see needing a little help, but reading a story? In a swing? In the stroller? hold your baby, and bond, maybe? I can just imagine a lot of choking, air in tummies, laziness, and less and less bond with baby when I think about this Bababib thing. Try using a sling or a baby carrier, or step back from what you're doing for the 10 minutes it takes to feed your…
Would you pull this stunt? Ha! I know I would! | 3am Feedings Video
Check out this hilarious video! Even though I exclusively breastfeed at night and don't have to worry about the bottles, I can totally appreciate this video for the times that I just didn't want to wake up to do ANYTHING in the middle of the night!

I know if I thought it would get me and extra hour or two of sleep, I would DEFINITELY pull this stunt! Go Dad! I know…

I ran across the recipe in an email in 2001, and there was no attributions, so I've tweaked it a little! When you have a new baby, it's hard to remember to take care of yourself. You're worried about the next feeding, the next diaper change, getting the hubby out the door on time for work, managing your time between all of your kids. I've been there, a I always forget that I need to make sure that I'm also drinking…
Mobile Breastfeeding Truck – Lactivism or Counterproductive?
I checked out this article that a friend of mine posted on Facebook (thanks Amanda) about a woman in Pittsburgh who has this vision to buy an ice cream truck, stick a giant boob on top, and park in front of the public places where women are harassed for breastfeeding in public! PREFACE: Now, I'm allllll for breastfeeding in public. It's actually my right to breastfeed in public if I so wish. It's actually the law - breastfeeding in public is legal in Texas. I Breastfeed in Public. But you'd never know it. I'm extremely discrete, and my goal is…
