If you’re wondering how I physically go about tandem nursing toddler twins, it’s often sitting cross-legged (on the kitchen floor with my back against the cupboard door, at the bottom of the stairs, on the couch if I’m lucky) with each one straddling a thigh. Or I just lie down on the floor and they…
So I know the song “Cake by the Ocean” isn’t actually about eating delicious baked goods on a beautiful beach … but honestly, when I’m singing along to it I’m imagining cheesecake in my mouth and soft sand beneath my toes. Sadly, the closest I’m going to get to literal or figurative cake by the…
Updated August 2023 A few weekends ago, I spent two whole nights away from my 20-month-old nursling. It was glorious … and leaky. The Monarch Mommy and I took a road trip to Edmonton to take our Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) training, and we took our milk with us. I no longer pump my…
Two terrible things happen when I put on my new clothes from Berlin’s Viva La Mama. See, the dress’s label reads “Milchshake” (German for milkshake, dontcha know), so I immediately start doing my best twerk while singing, “My Milchshake brings all the boys to the yard … ” As soon as I pull on my…
Breastfeeding a newborn looks a lot different from breastfeeding a toddler. Honestly, I never thought I would breastfeed my toddler. I had made the arbitrary decision, before having children, that I would stop breastfeeding at age one. Instead, my son weaned only when I was pregnant with his sister and too nauseated and exhausted to…
I have goals as a mother, which range from breastfeeding to using baby sign language to making sure my children know that no topic is taboo and that I’ll always be there for them. I also have goals for myself outside of motherhood, but the vast majority of them are tucked in the back of…
This is a sponsored post. All opinions and tiny boobs remain my own. You may remember how the Milkies Milk-Saver was a total game changer during my first three months of breastfeeding. While nursing on one side, the Milk-Saver catches the milk that squirts out the other side, and during those first few months, that was…
I received this items at no cost to facilitate my review. All opinions remain my own. I’m typically a pull-down-the-shirt or unbutton-the-shirt breastfeeder. Nursing shirts with peekaboo slits have not worked well in the past for me. I have always found the slits too narrow, and prone to getting soaked in milk, thus leaving me…
Don’t you just love it when people come up to you and tell you how TERRIBLE their pregnancy was? How their labour was 72 hours? And that breastfeeding was a complete and total nightmare? Ya, me too! So much, in fact, that I thought I’d tell you about how, in my case, breastfeeding has been…
