I am currently sporting the latest in “stop nursing all day”-wear, the high necked jumper! I have noticed that when the goods are not on show, Littlepixie doesn’t ask to nurse as often. It’s also a little more complicated for her to gain access so she has started to limit the “drive-by” nursings that were [...]

It’s National Delurking week in the blogosphere, although Angela over at Breastfeeding 123 has dubbed it International Delurking week in my honour, thank you kindly Angela
And because I am such a fan of the Loch Ness monster, I will showcase Paper Napkin’s Lurkness Monster once more… love it!
Anyhoo, you pretty much all [...]

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 [...]

Littlepixie slept through last night!
She nursed to sleep at 21:00, myself & Mr.HPP snuck downstairs at 21:30, we joined LP in bed around 00:15 and then she woke to nurse at…. 05:30!!! A whole 8.5 hours after going to sleep. I had to wake Mr. HPP in amazement to check the time. Hurrah, hoorah! [...]

It is absolutely miserable weatherwise today, too wet to even comtemplate venturing outside. So we have had one of those mornings, lego, megabloks, drawing, play-dough, aqua-draw and yes, some tv and newtube (LP-speak for Youtube) too. But we were also creative, Littlepixie devised a game with our brussels sprouts from the market yesterday. She holds [...]

NaBloPoMo 2008 - Day 30 (last day, whew… made it!)
Today is the last day of NaBloPoMo, and it wasn’t too bad overall, not too many filler posts (I think).
Littlepixie is a bit under the weather with a snuffly cold today so she is nursing quite a lot. I think the only other food she had [...]

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 [...]
