Breastfeeding and Your Baby
"I love breastfeeding! As a momma who has successfully breastfed three babies beyond their first year, as well as donated breast milk towards multiple babies in need, I have a passion for seeing other mommas succeed in breastfeeding. We all know there are many physical and emotional benefits to breastfeeding, so you’d think it would come completely naturally. But each mother-baby pair is unique, and has to develop their own breastfeeding relationship."

Cloth Diapering: Why? What? How?
"As soon as I found out I was pregnant (OK, that’s a lie, it was even before), I started to research anything and everything that had to do with babies. I looked into birth options and classes, health decisions, and baby gear. Oh man, there is a lot to think about when you have a baby coming! I wanted to make safe choices, and I also wanted to save money. I quickly learned that one HUGE way to save money is to use cloth diapers instead of disposables."

Is this a day at a factory farm or a day in an American hospital’s maternity ward?
