Some Things NOT to Say to a Nursing Mom

Our son is 11 months old and of course is still breastfeeding and will until June or so, when I will start giving him a sippy with the freezer "stash" of my milk and when that 128 oz is gone, then he will get whole milk. By then, he will be 14 months or so when he weans if all goes well.

Several Things that Breastfeeding Moms Don't Want to Hear

There are some things that people should just keep to themselves when it comes to conversations with breastfeeding moms, and below you'll find a list of things that breastfeeding moms, including myself don't want or need to hear!

Yep, I have been breastfeeding our son for 9 1/2 months now!

Baby Event 2015: MAM Baby - Bottle & Pacifiers

*Disclaimer - I received the products in this post from MAM Baby in order to facilitate this review for my readers.

I love MAM Baby products, and am excited to tell you about the ones I got below.


I use to work in a daycare and several babies that I cared for used the MAM Baby bottles for anti-colic. Our son has one bottle of my pumped milk at night, and I was excited to be able to review the bottle. This bottle is 9 oz in size, and is a great bottle to have for a baby. It's a stage 1 bottle which is good for younger babies and older babies alike. He seems to like this bottle so far, and it works well. I don't freeze my milk in this bottle, but I put it in the fridge to heat up at night for him.

UPDATE to review of the Mam Baby anti-colic bottle:
I have used this bottle and washed it thoroughly and in the dishwasher since I wrote this review on August 11. I use this bottle at night with my milk once it's warm for him to eat. Well, the other day I had to throw this bottle away, because when I went to pour the milk in there, it was BLACK. I don't know what in the world would cause this to happen. If I wash it by hand, I dry it with a towel; if I wash it in the dishwasher it dries after washing. Be careful when using this bottle that it won't occur for you. But, I wanted to be sure and update my review.



I received two packs of 2 pacifiers for review as well. I asked about getting the I Love Daddy pacifier as I had previously received an I Love Mommy one, so it was one of the pacifiers that I got for our son. He loves the butterfly shaped pacifiers that MAM Baby makes for babies. The larger pacifiers are for 6 months and up, so he's not using these yet.



Baby Event 2015: NUK - Pacifiers, Bottles, Nursing Pads, and Nipple Shield

*Disclaimer - I received the products in this post from NUK in order to facilitate this review for my readers.

Do you have a little one on the way or a baby who needs some feeding supplies? Then, try out NUK products!



I have been working with the very popular baby brand known as NUK off and on for awhile now, on my blog. I was very excited to let them know that I had a Baby Event 2015 going on through April or so, and that I would love to work with them again. They said yes they'd love to! I chose the most popular products that I know I will need once baby boy is born to be able to review for my event. They wanted me to make sure that I told all about their orthodontic pacifiers specifically for 6 - 18 months that they sent to me in a few boy designs. They come in a 2 pack package and are really easy to open to remove. 





The next products that I received from NUK are a set of two Tri-Suction Bowls which are made for 6 months and older. We will use these for spoon feeding baby foods later on. The cool thing about these bowls is that they have 3 suction cups on the bottom of the bowls to stick better. They are also microwave and dishwasher safe, which is a huge plus to save time! These can help prevent spills. The 2-pack comes with 1 lid. 



The next products that I received from NUK are especially made for mom (me), as these are 50 Ultra Dry Nursing Pads which will be a huge help to have handy, as I fully plan on nursing this baby and pumping as well. You can never have too many of these on hand! The second picture you will see below is of a Nipple Shield with Case which will also be useful while breastfeeding.



The final products that I received from NUK to review in this post is known as the 5 oz Advanced Orthodontic Bottle . I got a 2 pack of these and am very excited to be able to use them. I worked in an infant room of a daycare in 2013 / 2014 and a few of the babies had these same bottles, and they're great to help with colic babies to drink formula or breastmilk alike.
