HI everyone!! I will be back soon I promise. August is a busy baking month for me. I made some vanilla cupcakes with vanilla almond swiss meringue buttercream for my OB and her office at my 6 week post partum check up as a thanks for everything and then some. I took pics and will post those soon
I also made YO! Gabba Gabba themed cupcakes and cakes for a friend's son's 2 year birthday. Also pics to come. My first born will be 2 soon so I have Buggy themed cupcakes and my mom's birthday was at the beginning of this month and she will be visiting soon so I am making cupcakes for her too! Phew!!
That was the baking update. Now the breastfeeding update. NO I am not posting pics! Ha ha I am VERY fortunate to be able to breastfeed my daughter ( I was successful with my first) and I know a lot of people aren't as fortunate. One of the things that is important with breastfeeding is posture and pillows. There are a lot of ways out there to hold and nurse your baby and end up with a sore neck and back so you want to have the proper posture and support. One of these is the brest friend pillow. I have used boppy pillows and they really don't work very well. They are better for propping up your baby than for nursing. I have lots of friends that swear by the brest friend pillow.
Leilani over at her blog, The Cake At Home Mom, is having a giveaway of the brest friend pillow. Check out her blog for lots of fun baked goodies and motherhood posts!!
Every friend of mine who is or has been expecting I get them a brest friend pillow. I think they are wonderful, I have kept mine from my daughter to pass on when she has her own children someday. She can tell her children that it was her pillow once.

ReplyDeleteI used the breast friend with my first baby and I agree, I loved it. It is important to find ways to make it work. Good for you for nursing your baby!
