The Unwanted Package

In the last week, eight of my breastfeeding friends plus me have received formula samples in the mail.  One of my friends isn’t even married with children and she received samples. Mine was for “my special preemie” and they sent formula designed for preemies (which in and of itself is a joke).  I feel really [...]

My Must Have Pumping Items – Earth Mama Angel Baby

*** Before I start, I want to say that to breastfeed, you truly don’t need anything besides breasts!  Everything else is gravy.  Same for pumping.  You don’t even really need a pump if you are able to manually express.  These are just products that were donated to me, and I decided to do reviews on [...]

Pumping – A Full Time Job

I pumped when my daughter was in the NICU, and I pumped the two days I worked a week when I went back when she was 5 1/2 months old.  I didn’t think there was that much to it.  But, I also didn’t pump very much. Now, I am learning the error of my ways. [...]

A Different Take on Breastfeeding

I am not a normal pumping mother.  My situation is different than the majority of women that pump their milk.  I haven’t been able to connect with anyone that is pumping after a loss or did pump after a loss, but I know of a few, but not many. I don’t have a baby to [...]

Where to start?

Yesterday I posted about pumping and asked if anyone had recommendations for a pump.  I then joked on twitter if I begged would a company give me a pump haha.  Not more than an hour later, Amber (BirthRoutes) asked me if I would like a donation account for a hospital grade pump she was offered [...]

Pumps and Donations

***I am reposting this here even though it is on my other blog too.  I just really would love lots of comments and such so I can find the best pump.  And if you don’t know the history of this, I went into labor last Thursday and my son was born still that afternoon.  So, [...]

No-Go BlogHer!

This coming weekend is a huge Blogging conference this weekend in New York, and so many of the people I know are online are going.  I personally don’t see the point, and I probably won’t ever go, but I love this idea of having a blog hop for those of us not going .  My [...]
