Breastfeeding Information & Resources

[StampinAntie]

Great job moms! I worked and breastfeed for 15 months. My daughter is 12. I can not believe that everyone on this board doesn't breastfeed...talk about saving money. I can attest to the fact because we usually only see the doctor for check-ups. Also, I have just figured out another way we will save money. My daughter took the ACT test early through the Duke tip program and got a 25 composite...really good for someone who is dyslexic. Her science score (26) was high enough to earn her recognition as being in the top 2000 of the 75000 kids in TIP (the smart ones to start with). I am looking forward to a large amount of scholarship help when she goes to college. They said she was really for college right now...lol...I know her genes were working for her but I honestly feel as if the breastfeeding put her over the top.

Keep going moms...you are changing the world with those special kids you are raising.

This is the recommendation. However, I will tell you, I got lasik in Feb 2005. Without trying, we conceived approximately 3 days later! In the end, I had no issues with my eyes and still have 20/20 vision 4 years later.

A Breast Milk Storage Tip for Breastfeeding Moms

Kind of a clever way to store those bags of frozen BM. You know that you are always using the oldest part of your supply first!
