  • Breast pump problems

    I have started back to work and my 7 month old is still nursing. I have an electric pump but I have more luck using my hand pump. I also have a 3 year old and I need to pump as much as possible for my son but I also need to do it as quickly as possible. Anyone have any ideas on how to get my electric...

  • Re: Breast Feeding or Formula??

    Breastfeeding has been shown to have more health benefits than formula/bottle feeding. Talk with your doctor. Also there are brestfeeding coaches out there, I am lucky to have friend who has been one for years, so if you are having a hard time with breast feeding they can help. Sometimes it takes a few...

Use a bottle that has a very slow flow (no or slow drips if you fill...

I was just natural for us both and my husband loves that my breast got bigger when my milk came in. My son is now 7 months old and has been exclusively breast fed due to dairy intolerance...

  • Re: Feeling Judged

    I too, planned to exclusively breastfeed. It seemed like when I was pregnant, many older women criticized my decision to breastfeed (especially my MIL who believed the baby would starve!). I read every book I could get my hands on and got lots of advice from friends and family. After I gave birth, I...
