Did you know that when nursing it is possible to end up a bit, ahem, uneven? I’ve written about this before, but a friend mentioned her friend that after nursing for several years was an A cup on one side and a C cup on the other. This is actually more common than people think, [...]

Back on the (Milk) Wagon

July 27, 2010 – 12:57 pm

It has been a long time since I posted, so it is crazy to me that it has only been three months since I last breastfed! I am due in 2 1/2 months and taking a 6 month break from breastfeeding seems both too short and too long. With that in mind, I am getting [...]

May 17, 2010 – 7:06 pm

If you’re like a lot of moms I know, the closer the end of maternity leave comes, the scarier continuing to breastfeed sounds. Here is a checklist to help make things a little easier. 1. Pump – Double electric is the way to go! I like Medela’s freestyle best. 2. Hands-free nursing bra – I [...]

From Mama to Moo Moo

May 5, 2010 – 6:53 am

This morning as I was giving my children breakfast, I was reminded how hard it was to get my first one to drink cow’s milk after I weaned her. She would eat cheese, yogurt, basically anything dairy, but would not drink cow’s milk. With my second, I didn’t have a problem and I think this [...]

Posting Through the Fog

April 30, 2010 – 7:21 pm

My husband got me a card for Mother’s Day when I was pregnant with our first. I really appreciated it, but can’t really remember any Mother’s Day after that. There have been two. I don’t really remember much these days, actually. I guess it goes with having been nursing or pregnant for 3 years. It’s [...]

What do you have under that blanket, lady?

April 26, 2010 – 11:25 am

  A very good friend just moved back to her native Germany. Among the many baby items she gave away to friends was her nursing cover. Did she stop nursing? Nope, she still has a 5 month old. However, in Germany nursing covers are non-existent. You may not believe me if you have read any [...]

When to buy a nursing bra

April 18, 2010 – 4:17 pm

It has been a whole month since I stopped breastfeeding, but it feels much longer. I have just gotten used to the fact that I don’t have to wear nursing pads and can wear shirts with high necks! I also realized that I have forgotten many of the basics, like when to buy a nursing [...]
