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.

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.

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.

Thankfully, tons of people (well, tons for me!) commented on my dilemma with lots of useful advice. Many of you suggested […]
How to end Co-sleeping. Advice Needed!!!
I have decided that my son needs to sleep in his own bed, all night. Not because I don’t love sleeping with him, because I do. I love snuggling all night and waking up next to him saying a random word every morning like “uh oh” or the standard screaming of “mama, Daaadeeee!” I need […]
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 […]
