Giving the Best to Your Baby through Breastfeeding #NationalBreastfeedingWeek
Aug 8, 2017
As you may know, this week is known as National Breastfeeding Week and is being posted all over social media.
I wanted to write a post in hopes of encouraging other moms to push through the hard first few weeks and succeed. It DOES get much easier and becomes a daily routine for you. Our daughter loves to be in my Ergo Adapt carrier, and I finally figured out how to nurse in it so that makes being out and about easier if she needs fed.

The Benefits of Breastfeeding After Age 1
Jul 11, 2016
If you're wondering if you HAVE to stop nursing just because your baby turned 1 the short answer is no you don't.
Let your child self wean or you can gently wean him or her from nursing.
Our youngest is almost 14 months and I am gently weaning him by removing one nursing session a month and replacing it with a cup of 2% milk. He's down to 2 - 3 sessions per day, so he should be completely weaned by the end of September.

Some Things NOT to Say to a Nursing Mom
Apr 21, 2016
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.

Baby Event 2015: Nursing Bra Express - Nursing Tank Top (Black)
Aug 19, 2015
*Disclaimer - I received the product in this post from Nursing Bra Express in order to facilitate this review for my readers.
I am nursing my 3 month old son and have been wanting to review a tank top to help make it easier when out in public, so I don't always need to use my nursing cover I have. I received the medium size tank from Nursing Bra Express, which as you can see in the photo is too tight, I should of gotten a large but didn't know that they ran smaller than a normal tank top as I've never had one. The tank top I received can be bought HERE for $42 on their website! I would recommend buying a size above what you normally wear, so that it's a looser fit on you.
I am excited to be able to use it more once I lose some weight though and it won't be as tight on me. The second photo shows the clip part of the tank top that unclips so that you can nurse your baby discreetly. I am hoping by fall / winter that it will fit looser, so that I can wear it vs having to use a cover in the cold weather.

Baby Event 2015: CapitalTwithaJ - Breastfeeding Onesies and Tank Top

Are you looking for a store that sells breastfeeding related products? Then, keep reading!
The big reason I'm doing more and more breastfeeding clothing / onesies / posts, is to help normalize it everywhere. Around here where we live, I have gotten a lot of dirty looks for nursing WITH a cover on, and you can't hardly tell what I'm doing if I don't use one, because I have my shirt by his head. So, that brought me to this very friendly Etsy shop known as CapitalTwithaJ.
I received two adorable onesies for our son that I got in size 3 - 6 months that fit him perfectly with a bit of growing room in them yet. The ones I got for him are called My mommy makes milk, what's your Superpower? which can be bought for $15 on her Etsy shop HERE! The other onesie that I received is called I only drink 100% organic milk from my Free Range Mommy, for only $15.
She has several great products to offer to moms, and one particular for moms is the tank top I received in a size medium known as Eat Local Support Breastfeeding. It can be bought for just $20, and comes in sizes: small, medium, large, and XL. I thought that since I was losing a little weight that a medium would be good. It's a little tight on me, so I should have gotten a large but I will be losing weight once off depo shot so it should fit good soon.
