    How Combo Feeding Saved My Breastfeeding

    Breastfeed or Formula feed? What about both?! Did you know that was a thing because I sure didn't! She first latched about an hour after she was born. What a strange and wonderful feeling that first time was. Such a relief I thought. I knew that breastfeeding was going to be hard, but I thought "Not us. It won't be *that* hard for us." Why I thought we were excluded was beyond me. It was about day 4? 5? 6? (that time is really fuzzy to me) that we had to give her her first bo

    How do I Breastfeed* with Raynauds?!

    *we prefer to use inclusive language like Body Feeding in general. In this case we chose ‘Breastfeed’ due to the specific nature of raynauds to the breast/nipple, specifically. If you have raynauds and you are chest/body feeding we see you and hope this post has helpful information Choosing to use your body to feed your baby whether it be breast / chest feeding or exclusively pumping, already comes with its challenges. But what happens when there is pain involved? Everything

We know that aside from wanting to heal the discomfort, there’s often an added concern of things progressing into mastitis. Mastitis is the inflammation of the breast tissue, sometimes caused by bacteria, resulting in an infection

Well, Friday afternoon I started to feel like my right breast was slightly bruised- as if I had a black and blue about an inch southeast of my areola. Soon after noticing the pain it got a bit worse. It hurt when I touched it and anytime my breast moved while I walked around. Since I had a clogged duct after my first child I knew this is what it was. Immediately I microwaved

    Tale from a New Mama

    After 4 days of laboring and pushing at home for the homebirth I planned, I transferred to the hospital for a cesarean. Moon was cut from my womb and there will always be a scar where she once lived.
