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…

Pambra’s Breathable Bra Liner Review | Great for Pregnant or #Breastfeeding Moms!

Very rarely do I come across a product that I deem as a true must have, however, recently, I was given the opportunity to review a fantastic product called Pambra's, that is not only a must have, but it's a MUST HAVE NOW! The not-so-pretty part of breastfeeding (and let's face it, being overweight with big boobs!), is that I sweat under my breasts.  Not only does it cause an uncomfortable, unpleasant odor, but for some people, it can also cause yeasty rashes as well as problems with bra elastic irritation.  The Pambra's Breathable Bra Liner is a great way…

Mammary Update! We have a diagnosis. #breastfeeding

Quick update on Jett's Apparently, I'm just odd.  My mammary glands and milk ducts have weird and yeast IN the ducts.  I have an infection, but I don't have an infection, from what I gather.  It's there, just underlying, and the things I've been doing naturally have possibly kept it at bay, which is why I haven't seen any visible symptoms except a very visible plugged duct every 1-2 weeks right at nipple level.  There hasn't really been any outward manifestation of an infection, just lots and lots of pain. So, right now, while I'm on Diflucan to keep the…

Houston, we have boob problems! Sorry for my absence! #breastfeeding

A little update on I want to apologize for my absence lately.  Since Jett was born, I've had a really hard time with plugged ducts, and it's not been a fun road at all!  Couple that with thrush and milk blisters, breastfeeding has been an extremely painful challenge, but one I'll never give up on. Today, I am going to go visit my midwife, because I'm afraid I have some kind of infection going on, although it's not really all that visible from the outside.  I have tried everything from Lecithin to Gentian Violet to Coconut Oil to Motherlove Rash…

Nursing in Public – Tips for Avoiding Problems #breastfeeding

You know, even though this was meant to be funny, it's really true.  There are many of us who just want to feed our babies without making a scene, without proving that we can, and without even showing a speck of skin. Those who hate to see women nurse in public, never really think about what they can do to avoid being uncomfortable.  It's not like we have some sort of magic spell over them and make them look.
