I mentioned yesterday that I use hand expression at times. I first learned how to do this when I wanted to increase my supply because I found out that breast compressions/massage coupled with my pump could increase output. I noticed a significant difference between when I did massage […]

Pumping. I am not sure why I have not really blogged about pumping. Obviously I did pump and hand express (tomorrow’s topic) or I would not have made it through over two years of nursing while working outside the home with The Boy in daycare. I think pumping […]

I loved Eco-dough, so trying Eco-kids eco-fingerpaint ($20 per tube) seemed like a natural progression. Eco-fingerpaint is made of all natural ingredients. The powder arrives in a tube like eco-dough and contains additional small dishes to mix the paint in. The tube and tubs are compostable. Unfortunately, the lids fell off during shipping, so some […]

It is no secret that I am waiting with baited breath for Boon Inc.’s scrubbles to hit the market. So much so that I stopped in to Babies R’Us last night to see if they were on the shelves. I did not see the scrubbles, but I did see some of the other products that […]
