Nursing Help Downriver

January 15, 2009

As a mom still nursing my second baby (I've made it almost a year! Whoo-hoo!) I am both a big fan of breastfeeding and aware of what a struggle it can sometimes be. Experience was not a boon when I had my second, either because each baby is different. Having someone who knows a lot, who has been there too and who is willing to help can be a godsend.

June 03, 2008

This is especially a fun topic for me since I have a birthday this week, and since I have a preschooler who is way, way into birthdays I have a feeling at least one of our activities will be preschooler-focused.
