I discovered Leading Lady at BlogHer last year and was really impressed. Needless to say I was thrilled when they sent me some of their nursing bras, including one from their new Loving Moments collection! My new nursing bras are cute, fashionable, functional and comfy! Now, I love you all, but I will NOT be taking a photo of myself in this bra for this post. Sorry. No dice. But I will tell you … [Read more...]
You know I don't post ranty posts too often. It's just not my style. But when something gets under my skin and I think the message is important, well... Tonight I received a press release (surprise surprise) with the following subject line: "Early Formula Use Helps Some Mothers Breastfeed Longer" I'm not going to use any links because frankly, I don't want to spread what I feel is … [Read more...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Comfort and Harmony for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Breastfeeding can have it's challenges - and getting a comfy position for baby and mama is one of them.

As part of my Philips AVENT ambassadorship, I received the Philips AVENT Double Electric Comfort Pump. I'm pretty excited because it means I JUST might get to go on a DATE with my husband. ALONE.

Both with hospital grade pumps and "regular ol breast pumps" I've even used both single electric and manual … [Read more...]
Having had two NICU babies, I've had a love hate relationship with pumping. With Quincy, I pumped the entire time she was in the NICU - 5 weeks and 1 day and then for several months afterwards, I was also breastfeeding at the same time. For many moms, pumping and breastfeeding go hand in hand. Now that I'm expecting my 3rd child in just about two weeks, I know I'm going to be pumping again. Why I … [Read more...]
When I was packing for BlogHer 11 I ran into a bit of a dilemna. My normal "at-home" attire of nursing tanks and yoga pants wasn't going to cut it. And living in Seattle, most of my nursing friendly tops were long sleeved. Also not going to cut it for the California sun. Thank goodness a fellow blogger suggested checking out Milkstars. I'm so glad I did! Milkstars is the brainchild of Jamie … [Read more...]
I certainly don't have any issues with nursing my daughter (or my son when he breastfed) in public, but sometimes it's nice to have a little privacy. If I know I am going somewhere I might need to be more discreet, I throw my Bebe Au Lait nursing cover into my diaper bag. I'm excited to share with you a great sale! Bébé au Lait makes it easier than ever for moms to breastfeed anywhere, … [Read more...]
