I’m Waving My White Surrender Flag

I just can’t help it. Pumping is not going as well as I had hoped.
Yesterday I had done my usual pump in the morning and due to circumstances beyond my control, I wasn’t able to pump again until 1am. I’m not going to do the math on how long in between, but it was all [...]

With all this nursing talk, I thought [...]

Strike!

At least I hope so.
I’ve said before that Zack is now 9 months old. Today, was a depressing day in the world of nursing.
He used to nurse for about 20 minutes in the morning (whether it be 5am, 6am or 7am), and then for 7-10 minutes 3 times during the day and then 20 minutes [...]

2 Hours At a Time

Baby Boy is now a month old. Things are going great! Things are going wonderful! However, here’s something I noticed that no one mentions to you.
When you become pregnant you get tons of unsolicited advice. When you are nearing your due date you get even more unsolicited advice ranging from pregnancy to birth to parenting. [...]
