Hey everyone! We are hanging out over at Natural Kidz today, sharing our Nursery Art Project that we created for our two boys when they were first born. Come check out our article, Creating Original Wall Art for Your Baby's Nursery! Thanks for sharing our story, Kathryn!
Monday, February 6, 2012 at 8:44PM Foremilk vs. hindmilk seems to be quite a popular topic among breastfeeding mothers. If I switch the baby too soon to the other breast, will he get the hindmilk? How do I ensure that my baby is getting all of the fatty milk that he needs? Sometimes I feel like too much breastfeeding information can add stress to a new mom. And this is why…. All breastmilk, whether it is 1 minute into the feeding session or 25 minutes into the feeding session, has both foremilk and hindmilk. As your baby drinks from the breast, she/he gets both the low-fat milk (foremilk) and the cream (hindmilk.) The better your baby drains your breast per feeding, the more hindmilk she/he has access to, as this creamier milk hangs out back further in the milk ducts, so it has further to travel.
Wednesday, February 1, 2012 at 10:22PM One of my favorite blogs out there is Secrets of Baby Behavior. This is a research/experienced-based blog written by the very talented, well-educated, all-female staff at the UC Davis Human Lactation Center. Their latest post, Supporting Parents of Preemies: Tips for Friends and Family, really struck a chord with me and I had the immediate urge to share with you all. While I have never had a preemie, nor a baby in the NICU, I have had several friends who have. This list just illuminated all of the ways I wished I could have supported them better, and the ways in which I WILL support them if the situation arises in the future. It is unbearable to watch a friend go through the heartbreak of having a child who is not well, but at least this list shares a few tools to help in a positive way.
Sunday, January 29, 2012 at 10:54PM As parents, we believe that our children are perfect. Yes, they can be little monsters every once in a while, but it is a tough pill to swallow when we find out that our child may have some challenges that need to be addressed.
Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 8:57PM A few months ago, this spunky, firecracker mama started attending our weekly breastfeeding support group and I knew from the start that she was amazing! Over these past months, Jessica has warmed the hearts of all of the moms in the group, as well as lifted their spirits with her quick wit and sass. Well, Miss Jessica landed this fabulous new job a few weeks ago and ended her maternity leave a little sooner than she had planned for. I have missed her parenting insight, so I thought I would interview her about her return to work, as a breastfeeding and pumping mama. Well, as you can see, her insight prevails!
