Breast Feeding Class

Took our first breast feeding class last night. Learned a lot about latching and caring for the baby. It was a long class and I get pretty uncomfortable sitting still so, here is the shortened version.

  • Baby should make a fish face with both upper and lower lip extended
  • Baby's body should face Mom's body
  • It may take practice and patience 
  • Watch videos online
  • Sometimes it helps to rub the outer breast toward baby
  • It's a great way to help build baby's immune system
  • Breast feeding helps mom lose weight
I'm not a breastfeeding coach or medical professional. Consult your doctor if you have questions.

2019 Cybex Priam vs. Nuna Mixx

Blob

Dear blob, Hello! I actually just recently found out about you. On September 6th, I'm not entirely sure why, I took a test that told me I was pregnant. I wrote off a lot of symptoms for various reasons, but I found out. Freaked out a little and snuck the test out of the house. Despite knowing that your dad would probably be insanely happy. I paced around outside with our dog on the phone with a friend on the line. I've basically thought about writing this to you ever since. I woke up one night thinking about what it would say. I bet you will have a ton of questions plus I wanted to track my journey. I'm not sure if I ever thought I would be pregnant. I want you, I've always wanted you. I just am not a big fan of the idea of pregnancy. So here we are. On the 7th, I woke up at four in the morning. I've been waking up early a lot lately. Maybe in the future I'll be a morning person, but historically I have not been. I'm not a fan of mornings. Anyway, I d...
