Bye-bye, boobies
Howdy, friends. You know, you just kind of forget how breastfeeding trashes your body. I nursed Jack for 14 months. Then a few months after I stopped, I got pregnant with Genevieve. Which meant, yay, I had boobs (tiny ones) … Continue reading

Howdy, friends. I think I might be done. Honestly. This week has been hell. First there was a trip to Urgent Care on Monday for bleeding nipples. I mean, they’ve been getting bad lately, but they suddenly got way worse. … Continue reading
A little guilt is good
Howdy, friends. I was surfing Babble.com earlier today and came across a link to this blog post about breastfeeding. It’s a pretty good read — especially the part about how we tune out advice about parenting all the time, and … Continue reading

Supply issues
Howdy, friends. After all my “Yay, breastfeeding!” posts, I am struggling again. Genevieve is almost 8 months old — big girl! — and my supply is dipping. This happened with Jack, too, around this time. I thought with him it … Continue reading
