Babies on A Plane

Drew had his first airplane flight last week and he took it like a champ. The flight was 4 hours long and we flew coach. The seats were so tight and I thought it would be 4 hours of juggling the baby on my lap. It actually wasn’t that bad at all. He slept for [...]

Why should I feel ashamed to nurse my baby in public?

It’s not against the law to nurse your baby in public, but you’d think it was. There’s always someone to claim that you are offending them or some perve trying to sneak a peak. Anytime a woman uses her breasts for anything other than sex there is a protest about it. No one tells a [...]

Why Do They Say Breastfeeding Doesn’t Hurt?

Why do experts say breastfeeding shouldn’t hurt if you’re doing it right? Common sense tells me that if something is sucking the life out of me like the hoover2000 then guess what! It’s gonna hurt. I was “doing it right” and still had a great deal of pain. It also hurts when you feel your [...]
