Thoughts on Breastfeeding Requirement Law – Guest Post
I told you I had more guest posts coming! Jane is a good friend of mine, we met in a Facebook group that several mommas from the November 2012 Birth Club created while we were pregnant with our November babies! Jane’s daughter is just a few days younger than Bubby and she is ADORABLE! I’ve really enjoyed learning about her life in Japan and have learned much from her breastfeeding struggles and journey early in her daughter’s life. Read on! Hello Sarah’s family, friends, and fans! My name is Jane and I am an American married to a Japanese man living in Japan. I used to be quite the blogger…

Not the Breastfeeding Story I Wanted – Guest Post
Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to guest post for me these next couple of weeks, I’m excited to have Eden guest posting for us today. You’ll find her bio and social media/blog links at the end of this post. After reading Eden’s first email I was very much looking forward to having her guest blog, unlike myself, she had a very difficult journey trying to breastfeed. Her story is one I’ve heard from other mom’s, but you just don’t hear these stories enough. I will forever and foremost say that breast is best, but it’s not the only way. I’m so proud of Eden for trying as hard…

Love/Hate Relationship…. with Breastfeeding

Boogie did pretty well with that, she bit me a few times to test the waters, but after that, never again. Bubby…

Blog Every Day September Challenge, Day 19
Day 19 (Thursday). Let us in on something your passionate about. Go ahead and rant a little bit. Something such as an event, special cause, a pet peeve, someone who makes you mad.) These topics are going to get me in trouble… lol! I’m super passionate about breastfeeding and babywearing. It makes me SO mad, angry, upset, sad, frustrated…. and etc when new mom’s don’t even TRY to breastfeed. How do you know it won’t work for you if you don’t try? I mean really…. how do you know? Even if you just nurse your new baby for the first 24 hours and then don’t continue, those first precious…

So, How Do You Know?
Since J and got married I was dead set on having 4 or more children. I’ve always wanted that big family, lots of little feet scampering around the house, lots of hugs and kisses to be had, large family gatherings as they got older and started having children of their own. But how do you know when you are truly done? At this point in my life, I can’t ever imagine not having sweet little baby cheeks to smooch on, or a baby to nurse, or a squishy newborn to wrap in a snugly wrap. So, how do you know? J is bound and determined that we will not have…
