You have your sweet baby! Congratulations! Now comes the hard part-raising the little sucker so he or she grows up to become a somewhat normal, productive, functioning member of society (and hopefully your family) all while maintaining your sanity and life.

Breastfeeding = Liquid Gold

With breastfeeding being so natural and healthy it sure is difficult. And not just for you but also for some babies. In my experience it wasn't quite so natural and I learned the hard way through pinched sore nipples for a few days before Cailyn learned how to latch properly. Once we got it down I then decided to try and pump. This is the only time it's ok to cry over spilled milk. Especially if that spilled milk was only 2 ounces you spent 20 minutes getting.

Things are looking better though! We've got the nursing thing down and although there isn't anything comfortable about nursing this is a product I use almost daily and it makes it somewhat more convenient.
It's a hooter hider and is magnificent!

You can find them here or here.

Good luck to all the nursing moms and to you I say "Keep up the good work! It'll all be worth it in the end."

Also head on over to http://www.babysteals.com/ for some GREAT steals! Hurry though, they only last for one day and have limited supplies.
