Nursing Pillow Showdown: Boppy vs My Breast Friend

This post contains affiliate links. All products were purchased by mean; opinions remain my own. From the minute I got pregnant, I knew I was going to breastfeed my baby (you can read about our nursing journey here!). I imagined looking into those sweet eyes as he drifted off to sleep; I imagined lovingly stroking his head as he gazed up at me; I imagined holding his as he slept peacefully. … [Read more...]

How We Nurse in our DockATot

Ever since I published Our Typical Bedtime Routine, I've gotten a lot of questions about one particular thing I talked about... How I nurse in the DockATot (Not sure what the DockATot is?

4 Useful Ideas for Expired Breastmilk

Every pumping mama's worst fear. Milk left on the counter too long; unthawed milk not being drank, a few extra unknown bags found in the deep freezer. I almost killed my husband (okay, an exageration) when he left 6 ounces of milk on the counter all night. I was an underproducer so seeing it in the morning was like a stab in my heart.
