Breastfeeding Tip
Since I have a few friends out there who are currently breastfeeding, I thought I'd share a tip that my sister passed along to me the other day. If you are trying to pump and not having great success (I was pumping several times a day for 20 minutes at a time only to get .5 to 1 ounce a day total for a couple weeks!!), try feeding your baby on one side while pumping on the other side. I was amazed at how much more milk I got by doing this! It was quite precarious and I could've used a 3rd hand, but it worked so well it was worth the trouble. Thanks Katie!

While I'm on the subject of breastfeeding, check out my friend Loree's new blog on the right. Loree is a new mom (Tahli, 7 months) and has had a bit of a roller coaster ride with breastfeeding. She's stuck it out, but it hasn't been easy.

Happy Sunday!
