Why going back to work was good for my son and husband’s relationship

I didn't want to go back to work after the birth of my son. I wanted to stay home with him with all my heart, but unfortunately my husband and I couldn't afford it.

Our Nursing Journey

Our Nursing Journey

Breastfeeding was never supposed to be difficult after all, we're biologically designed to provide love and nutrition to our offspring in this way. I did all the right things during my pregnancy; attended child birth classes, watched videos, read books and even went to La Leche League meetings. I was prepared both mentally and physically to nurse my child. Somewhere though, something went wrong. … [Read more...]
