Littlepixie only slept 5-ish hours last night, we were up from about 04:30, it’s 08:30 now and she has nursed to sleep again, ahhhh…. peace. I’m browsing my Google Reader and enjoying the whine-free silence.
And I am reading an article on Kellymom which is exactly what I needed to read right now. I reckon some [...]

This may be interesting to those of you who are interested in such things as the return of fertility during breastfeeding. For everyone else, feel free to skip this post, you could read this article on the history of breastfeeding instead, it’s very interesting and thought-provoking!
Here’s a “more” tag (or not if you are reading [...]

So now that I have lulled you all into a false sense of blissful crafting peace and happiness on my blog I will share some overly personal information with you. My bosoms are sore!
I have been having a lot of discomfort while nursing over the past few days and have been researching various theories (and [...]

Gorgeous nursing bras - they do exist!
I’m still wearing nursing bras, I know at over 2 years postpartum most mums are well out of them, but I’m still a little prone to blocked ducts [...]

NaBloPoMo 2008 - Day 12
Here’s another gizmo that we use quite a lot, it’s our funky pink shopping trolley, or as we call them in Ireland, our granny trolley. Nobody uses them in Galway, even grannies, so we look slightly nutty trundling it around behind us, but it is fantastic!
Mr. HPP is from Dublin and [...]

NaBloPoMo 2008 - Day 5
I saw these Breastfeeding Affirmation cards from Feeding Mama advertised on Mothering.com a while ago and seen as I had some spare dollars siting in my Paypal account I treated myself to a pack. They arrived yesterday and I must say they are lovely.
There are 30 cards in the deck, each [...]

NaBloPoMo 2008 - Day 4
Hallowe’en & Littlepixie’s birthday have both been celebrated joyously, so it’s that time of year again when I try and get all my Christmas shopping out of the way before December. I am not a big fan of the consumer splurging on the run-up to Christmas, I love the lights in [...]

NaBloPoMo 2008 - Day 3
Oh wow, Littlepixie is 2 years old today, she is so big, I can’t believe it is two whole years since we first saw her little face and big eyes, in one way it seems like such a short time yet I can’t remember our life before her!
Thank you all for [...]

I am part of many different online communities, vegan groups, natural birthing groups, attachment/responsive parenting groups, vegan parenting groups, babywearing groups and so on. I find the advice and friendships I’ve made in these groups to be invaluable. Especially my online longer term breastfeeding buddies, I’d be adrift without all of you to chat to [...]
