The Belly is Back!

Wow, what a sabbatical! Thanks so much for your patience while we revamped the store....and welcomed a new little boy into our lives! Andrew is now six months, so I figured it was time to get back into the swing of things. Not only has Andrew brought lots of laughter and little sleep to our lives, he has given me TONS of ideas for new items for store. He has taught me a lot and humbled me much. I want to share what I have learned and point you to the tools that have helped get me through the infant stage. The first topic I want to cover is nursing....and don't worry, there was light at the end of my tunnel.

First, breast-feeding is hard. How come I didn't know this? I thought it was all about making a choice, and once you choose to nurse, that's what you did. My breasts disagreed with my choice, and much to fighting it, and trying to pump through it, my little man was just not getting all he wanted. When I heard the word "supplement" from my doctor, I was mortified and scared. What would I find to meet my high standards of nutrition. After much research, I came across Nature's One - Baby's Only Toddler Formula. Once I got past the strict instruction to give it only to babies over one year old because breastfeeding is the best choice (yes, thanks for the reminder that my breasts aren't working!), I found it to be a phenomenal second choice for me. Actually, it freed up my day and I was able to let go of the guilt knowing Andrew was getting the nutrients he needed with minimal processing.

We don't have the product on our site yet, so I will give the direct link to all you moms in need of a good product: www.naturesone.com. Buy it by the case.

I have lots more product info for you new moms....or moms looking for something new. Stay tuned!
