Breastfeeding your baby isn’t easy. There are so many things to consider when you choose breastfeeding over the bottle. When I decided to breastfeed my youngest daughter I didn’t think I would be doing it for 20 months! It was so worth it. I was even a bit sad when she decided to self wean. I had made it though pregnancy breastfeeding her and wanted to try my hand at tandem feeding once my little man got here. But Mia had other plans. Because we had been breastfeeding for so long it was like second nature to us both. It … Continue reading

The journey of being a new mom has really challenged my sense of self-image. To say it has been a roller-coaster would be an understatement. When I was pregnant, I really enjoyed my new body.

There is one true fit item that I wore before the birth of baby boy and religiously wore it after. It kept its shape, it held in tender pregnancy breasts and tender nursing breasts. It was a bra, it was a bathing suit top, top to teach yoga in, a tank top, a tank under a low neck sweater, convenient to wear under non-nursing tops so I didn’t flash everyone my post-pregnancy body and my milk makers and was worn to bed.
