Our breastfeeding journey
This makes me so happy, it often isn’t easy but is so worth it to share breastfeeding with your child. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to do it either, as my efforts with my little boy were exhausting and ended at 5.5 months in tears. I am so deeply filled with joy that my desire to breastfeed my daughter has been fulfilled in spades. Having had to return to work when my baby was...

Breast Milk vs. Formula
warriorprincess:
Last night Michael and I went to the home of friends of ours for dinner. They have a 4 year old boy and just had a new baby boy two months ago. We needed to get our baby fix! He was sooo cute and oh-so-chubby! Now, we met them through Michael’s having classes with the father, so I don’t know the mom very well. When baby stuff came up I obviously got excited to talk about it, but...

In both cases, the second that infant emerged, time seemed to stop and I would hold my breath. Tears came to my eyes. It was unbelievable to witness a new life coming into the world.
However, the more knowledge I...

via rhiannon, a doula documents the appearance of her cervix daily for a month. rhiannon explains and comments: “In very clear language, she notes what’s going on in each photo, as well as pointing out the individual oddities of her particular set of parts (some ragged remnants of hymenal tissue, the unusual angle of her cervix due to the positioning of her uterus). There are no...

Read more about it here (pdf). An excerpt, “According to the trial court, “Allen gave birth over five months prior to her termination from [Isotoner]. Pregnant [women] who give birth and chose not to breastfeed or...
