Some Breastfeeding Humor

As I was searching for my Witty Wednesday post, I realized that I have seen just about all the funny things that are in the first few pages of Google.  I felt like a pop up banner should have come up saying, “Congratulations, you have reached the end of the internet.”  There are of course [...]

Hands-Free Breastfeeding

So with a little one running around and a new baby, I am learning to master the art of hands-free breastfeeding. I admit I was feeling just a little bit sorry for myself, until I read a truly inspiring story about a mom who breastfeed without arms. That’s right – the woman who was born [...]

Ready, Set, Grow!

As I have written about in the past, the two week mark is when most babies go through a growth spurt. It is also when even the most stalwart breastfeeding mothers think about quitting.

Granted my youngest hasn’t really had a chance to define his personality yet, but already he breastfeeds differently than his sister did. My first child was textbook. She would nurse 15 minutes [...]

So for those of you who have been following the blog, you know that I was struck with a bit of breastfeeding anxiety. I mean, sure I had done it before, but what if I had forgotten how? Thankfully, I am happy to say that while many of the first-time breastfeeding challenges are still there, [...]

Breastfeeding While Driving

Many of us have heard of “hands-free” nursing bras that enable us to clip our pumps to our bras. A doctor I know often pumps while commuting to work and I admit I have been tempted to do the same myself. However, a woman in Ohio has taken it to a whole new level. Instead [...]

Weaning

Part of breastfeeding is eventual weaning. I have had a lot of questions on this topic recently and so decided to share this article that I found. It’s short and is pretty close to how I weaned my daughter. The only thing I would add is to eliminate one feeding per week, if possible, to [...]
