Nipple. Confused.

April 15, 2011

I hate that term. Nipple confusion. Ruby is not confused.  She knows exactly what she wants.  She wants the nipple from a bottle, and putting the breast in her mouth makes her ANGRY. I have asked and asked for advice and help.  I have spoken to numerous lactation consultants.  Other breastfeeding moms.  Internet websites. Anything I can find. There are… Read More

I don’t know where to begin. It’s Thursday already.  Where does the time go? I have to work again on Saturday.  I feel like I just got home, and already it’s time to go back.

First, a terrible picture of Ruby… but an amazing hand-knit sweater from my Grandma Fran.  Simply Amazing. So lovely. Chillin’.  Sometimes, when… Read More

Poor Pooper.

March 8, 2011

I am about to write an entire blog post about Feces. You have been warned. When Ronan was a newborn, he pooped a lot.  A LOT.  Every single feeding, we had to change him before we nursed, and then we’d have to change him again after we finished nursing.  I remember wondering if it was normal for a baby to… Read More
