Happy World Breastfeeding Week! | #breastfeeding
Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Here are a few breastfeeding facts: Your milk is tailor made for your baby. Most babies digest breastmilk faster and easier than formula or any other types of milk. Breastfeeding saves you money! When you breastfeed your baby, you lower your risk breast and ovarian cancer. It's ok to breastfeed your baby for longer than 6 months. It's even ok for you to breastfeed your toddler for longer than 2 years! Breastmilk is premixed, so that you know your baby is getting all the nutrition he/she needs. You can continue to breastfeed after returning to work.
Do you breastfeed in public? | #breastfeeding #nip (as in Nurse in Public)
I am pro breastfeeding. I am pro breastfeeding in public. I've always been cool with anyone breastfeeding in public, and I used to have little cards with the Texas law on them that I'd hand out to women I'd see nursing in public, just in case they ever get into a situation where they're asked to stop or leave a public area. Something I've probably mentioned before is that I've even breastfed my babies at Astros games with 40,000 people around and no one had a clue. In Texas, you're allowed to nurse your baby anywhere you're allowed to be…

mimijumi Bottle Review – Transitioning Between Breast and Bottle | #breastfeeding @mimijumi
In less than 40 days, I will be headed out to the bright and sunny Pensacola Beach with an awesome group of fantastic bloggers to connect, have fun, and enjoy the time we have together! There's only one catch! I'll have to leave my (then) 7 month old, strictly breastfed baby home with daddy. That's not such a terrible thing, except for the past month, we've tried just about every bottle system and nipple shape and size that you can imagine. That is, until last week when I received a surprise package on my doorstep that contained a mimijumi baby…
Laughing Whistling Nosed Breastfeeding Baby Video | #Breastfeeding
This is so cute! Hawk used to giggle like this when he nursed! Thank you, Beth, from Musing Mainiac for showing this to me! From the baby boy's mama: He had a stuffy nose so it whistled when he fed. He thought it was the funniest thing ever!!
Mammary Update! We have a diagnosis. #breastfeeding
Quick update on Jett's Apparently, I'm just odd. My mammary glands and milk ducts have weird and yeast IN the ducts. I have an infection, but I don't have an infection, from what I gather. It's there, just underlying, and the things I've been doing naturally have possibly kept it at bay, which is why I haven't seen any visible symptoms except a very visible plugged duct every 1-2 weeks right at nipple level. There hasn't really been any outward manifestation of an infection, just lots and lots of pain. So, right now, while I'm on Diflucan to keep the…
Houston, we have boob problems! Sorry for my absence! #breastfeeding
A little update on I want to apologize for my absence lately. Since Jett was born, I've had a really hard time with plugged ducts, and it's not been a fun road at all! Couple that with thrush and milk blisters, breastfeeding has been an extremely painful challenge, but one I'll never give up on. Today, I am going to go visit my midwife, because I'm afraid I have some kind of infection going on, although it's not really all that visible from the outside. I have tried everything from Lecithin to Gentian Violet to Coconut Oil to Motherlove Rash…
LOOK what you’ve DONE to me! It’s the Purple People Eater!
What's really cute about this is that he's absolutely oblivious! Baby boy has no idea he's the flying purple people eater!!
Name that Food: Did he really say that? | Funny Things Hawk Says
Here's a cute story, if you can follow it! For dinner, I made up a recipe (nothing new around here) that turned out to be FANTASTIC! The basic ingredients were zucchini, tomato, bread crumbs, pine nuts, basil (recipe for another post), and other spices. The boys kept looking at it, and finally, Braxton asked, "What is this?" Hawk said, "It's breast." Kylie, trying not to giggle, asked Hawk to repeat himself, and he again said, "It's breast." Trying to figure out where that came from, I wanted to make sure he really said it, so I said, what is that?…
Nursing in Public – Tips for Avoiding Problems #breastfeeding
You know, even though this was meant to be funny, it's really true. There are many of us who just want to feed our babies without making a scene, without proving that we can, and without even showing a speck of skin. Those who hate to see women nurse in public, never really think about what they can do to avoid being uncomfortable. It's not like we have some sort of magic spell over them and make them look.
