This morning I woke up to my husband putting a post it note on my boob
Baby complimenting the milk
I saw the cutest thing in a lactation room today
Who ever said you couldn't overfeed a breastfed baby...
My boobs got so long I could breastfeed myself now
Pumping on the psych unit
I was trying to be nice
I told my 10 month old “clap if you want milkies” as a joke
For someone who needs to read this: to a mom crying in the newborn phase
Husband said I am stopping him from bonding with our newborn by always breastfeeding
