Breastfeeding Cures Cancer – According to House

February 22, 2010 – 6:06 am

This past week I have been MIA because I had a horrible sinus infection that pretty much shut down my ability to do anything. I am finally better enough to catch up on my recorded TV shows and was watching a couple-week-old episode of House. In it, a man with cancer demands a prescription for [...]

A Valentine for Moms

February 16, 2010 – 4:20 am

It can be so easy to forget how wonderful this time in the lives of our children is. I hear it every day – this is the best time of your life, enjoy it. When the laundry piles up, the dishes fill the sink, and large quantities of toys and crackers fall out of the [...]

Breastfeeding – Yoga Style

February 6, 2010 – 11:25 pm

We spend all day at our computers or sitting in uncomfortable chairs, so we hunch. Then we have a baby, start breastfeeding, and completely forget what the lactation consultant said about bringing the baby to you. Then our shoulders hurt and we blame breastfeeding. A few weeks back, I got a massage, went to a [...]

Balance

February 4, 2010 – 10:14 pm

Today was supposed to be my “mom”day. Most days are a balance between work and kids and honestly, sometimes work wins. I try to have at least two days a week where I just do stay-at-home mom things, like play with the kids, do laundry, cook dinner, read stories, eat bon bons and watch TV, [...]

Women over 30 Don’t Have Breastmilk and Other Falsies!

February 3, 2010 – 5:00 pm

Breastfeeding has become so PC, that it’s hard to imagine a time when doctors would have told mothers over 30 that they were physically incapable of breastfeeding due to age. Whether you are not sure about La Leche League or are a big fan, this video about the history of LLLI is fascinating! Happy Nursing!

Slumps aren’t just for Baseball

January 8, 2010 – 2:06 pm

The headaches began before the holidays. No surprise, right, except I barely get headaches. I had been looking at before and after pictures of Anne Hathaway in a fashion magazine on my 5 minute break(my children will be getting a letter from the Department of Labor) and noticed the improvement in my posture. Then I [...]

Longer Maternity Leave = Longer Breastfeeding.

January 5, 2010 – 12:00 am

So it’s not exactly shocking, but a recent story in Business Week proves what many of us already know, shorter maternity leaves reduce the likelihood that women will breastfeed exclusively for six months or longer. Business Week Article I have posted on this topic before because it is a challenge that all of us moms [...]

Merry Christmas!

December 26, 2009 – 4:33 pm

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I enjoyed sharing the holiday with my little ones – truly the best way to experience the holiday. I know this was a hard year for many and so were happy to be asked to donate a couple of My Brest Friend nursing pillows to new moms [...]

Because Breastmilk is Sterile

December 23, 2009 – 6:42 am

This afternoon I was playing with my 9 month old. I try not to hover, so as often happens with my little furniture surfer, he fell down. It really wasn’t a bad fall, but I heard “the cry” and knew it was going to be a mess. I rushed my bleeding little boy to the [...]
