Dollywood is #Breastfeeding Friendly! | #Brandcation
Being a nursing mom, I'm always on the look out for places that have accommodations for moms who breastfeed. Aside from the awesome hospitality, Dollywood is breastfeeding friendly! When we arrived, Jenn from asked me if I noticed the nursing stations located around the park, and I went out on a mission to find them! To my surprise, located in the bathroom area, I found a cozy little room with a comfy glider rocker in the air conditioning with a door that said "Nursing Room". On a side note, it was awesome to see some babywearing dads while I…

Big Latch On – Friday & Saturday – World Breastfeeding Week 2012 | #breastfeeding
If you can muddle through all of the Chick-Fil-A posts on facebook to see the support for breastfeeding, you've probably figured out that it's World Breastfeeding Week. One of the major events that happens, each year, during World Breastfeeding Week, is The Big Latch On. Groups of women gather in registered locations around the world to simultaneously latch on their babies to breastfeed for one minute to set a record. Is it all about the record? No, not really, but it's a great way to help draw people in to support breastfeeding and spread the word. In 2011, 5687 women and…
Happy World Breastfeeding Week! | #breastfeeding
Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Here are a few breastfeeding facts: Your milk is tailor made for your baby. Most babies digest breastmilk faster and easier than formula or any other types of milk. Breastfeeding saves you money! When you breastfeed your baby, you lower your risk breast and ovarian cancer. It's ok to breastfeed your baby for longer than 6 months. It's even ok for you to breastfeed your toddler for longer than 2 years! Breastmilk is premixed, so that you know your baby is getting all the nutrition he/she needs. You can continue to breastfeed after returning to work.
Carex Health Brands – Bed Buddy®: Plush ThermaTherapy® Set Review | #health #doula
My doula bag just got a little heavier! It has received a velvety plush, all natural, upgrade thanks to Carex Health Brands.

The Tale of an Exhausting Diaper Change – *gross warning* | #clothdiapers #parenting #fail
This morning was an absolute mess! I was getting a little work done when Jett woke up. I always like to try to nurse him for a few minutes and play with him to get his little "good mood" juices flowing before I change him out of his nighttime diaper. Normally, he waits until mid morning or later to poop, but twice this week, he's pooped before I was able to change him out of his nighttime diaper. No biggie, right? Ha. Breastfed poop is more runny than other poop, so it's like he has diarrhea all the time (except he doesn't),…
Do you breastfeed in public? | #breastfeeding #nip (as in Nurse in Public)
I am pro breastfeeding. I am pro breastfeeding in public. I've always been cool with anyone breastfeeding in public, and I used to have little cards with the Texas law on them that I'd hand out to women I'd see nursing in public, just in case they ever get into a situation where they're asked to stop or leave a public area. Something I've probably mentioned before is that I've even breastfed my babies at Astros games with 40,000 people around and no one had a clue. In Texas, you're allowed to nurse your baby anywhere you're allowed to be…

mimijumi Bottle Review – Transitioning Between Breast and Bottle | #breastfeeding @mimijumi
In less than 40 days, I will be headed out to the bright and sunny Pensacola Beach with an awesome group of fantastic bloggers to connect, have fun, and enjoy the time we have together! There's only one catch! I'll have to leave my (then) 7 month old, strictly breastfed baby home with daddy. That's not such a terrible thing, except for the past month, we've tried just about every bottle system and nipple shape and size that you can imagine. That is, until last week when I received a surprise package on my doorstep that contained a mimijumi baby…
