Many first-time moms feel that breastfeeding comes naturally when their baby is born, and not worry too much about it while pregnant. I admit that I was one of those moms.

I had a really hard time swallowing vitamins during my first trimester. I was incredibly nauseous that I even hated chewing and tasting gummy vitamins! I tried a few different bottles, both food-based and synthetic and I found 4 that I enjoy and can tolerate to take on a daily basis. I really do not … Continue reading My Prenatal Vitamins

I knew last week I was 2 weeks late for my period. Boobs were aching, I was so nauseous, and everything just smelled so foul. I couldn't take it anymore at work, so I went to the pharmacy (luckily I work at a hospital) and just but a test. During my lunch break, I told … Continue reading Wait…I’m pregnant?!

Visiting a New Mom & Baby

April 14, 2015November 30, 20176 Comments

Before I had Nathan I was one of those "overly-excited-aunties" and I wanted to visit my friends and families' newborn baby as soon as possible and hold them. Not until I had Nathan did I realize inviting overly excited aunties and uncles over can be quite overwhelming to entertain. Especially when you're sleep deprived, hooked … Continue reading Visiting a New Mom & Baby

When I used to exclusively pump, there were some days I felt as if I wasn't producing enough milk. Levels of production of milk can depend on your diet, as well as, your hormones. I was always worrying that I wasn't making enough for my baby and was afraid of "running out" milk. Especially, when … Continue reading The Power Pump!

Tips for Pumping at Work

January 15, 2015February 28, 201824 Comments

 It's the 21st Century! More and more mothers are returning back to work shortly after they deliver. In my opinion, the U.S. average maternity leave length of 12 weeks or less (if you do not qualify for FMLA) is just way too short, compared to other developed countries such as, Austria, who have maternity leave … Continue reading Tips for Pumping at Work
