A Robot T-Rex is WAY Cooler Than Boobs {Our Weaning Story}
[typography font=”Cantarell” size=”20″ size_format=”px”]Because a Robot T-Rex is way cooler than boobs we are done. Breastfeeding is done.[/typography] We lasted 2 years, 11 months, and 21 days. The end came so fast that I didn’t see it even though I started the ball rolling. And I swear on my life that I never intended to […]
What it’s really like to breastfeed after 2.5 years
Being that World Breastfeeding Week (Aug 1-7) is nearly finished and I’ve yet to post about the topic I thought it would be fitting to post an update on our breastfeeding journey. [typography size=”18″ size_format=”px”]I forgot to wean him at 1. I forgot again at 2. With 3 months until his third birthday it is […]
Weaning or Potty Training? Which would come first?
[typography font=”Cantarell” size=”22″ size_format=”px”]The question posed by a family member “when will you be done nursing?” was shortly followed by “when is he going to be out of diapers?” [/typography] and I didn’t have answers to either one of those questions. With my first son the weaning came first because I was pregnant again and […]
Oops! I forgot to wean my 2 year old.
Everett’s 2nd birthday came and went and our nursing relationship has remained the same. He is still nursing and I am still letting him. To be honest I didn’t have plans to wean him at any certain age but it was my goal to make it to 2 with him. I wouldn’t have kept him […]
1 Day Longer- We’ve been breastfeeding for 18 months and 6 days- but who’s counting?
Everett has been breastfeeding for 18 months and 6 days. My first son Fletcher weaned at 18 months and 5 days old. I can still vividly remember the moment I realized he would never nurse again. We were rocking together in the glider and each night I would nurse him while doing so to get […]
{Mostly} Wordless Wednesday: Breastfeeding Bliss
I’ve been learning how to shoot in Manual Mode on my Nikon D80 for the past 2 weeks in earnest (inspired by Jill from Baby Rabies). After shooting a few photos of my guy I laid the camera down on the bed and he signed for milk. I crawled in bed with him and cuddled […]
Who I am and Where I am Coming From
I am not a “controversial” blogger. In fact, when writing out my posts I am constantly asking myself “Will this offend someone? Can this be taken the wrong way?” And so on. Yet, just the topics I write about are controversial in themselves so I do get the upset mother commenting every once in a […]
Diet Dilemma
When it comes to food I just can’t catch a break. While pregnant I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes around 28 weeks. This meant I couldn’t have many carbs and had to control my blood sugars by eating on a schedule and spacing out the carbs I was allowed in small bits. After having Everett […]
“Sorry, Honey. I can’t have sex tonight because I am lactating.”
This article was recently brought to my attention, however it appears that it is 4 years old. Since the first publishing Rabbi Shmuley has since apologized. I address that at the end of my response. No matter how old the article is it is still alive and kicking on the internet and doing damage to […]
The Sadness and Joy of Weaning
While pregnant with my son Fletcher, I had a dream. In this dream I was in my glider rocking my newborn baby boy. He was in my arms, beautiful, wrinkly, sweet, and perfect in every way. And, I was nursing him. It was the most wonderful dream…. we seemed so happy and breastfeeding was natural […]
