Foodie Friday: Breastfeeding takes forever?
January 16th, 2009 by rebecca · 6 Comments
I’ve been thinking about breastfeeding this week. First, LauraC reposted her thoughts about her decision to stop breastfeeding. And then, a mom posted a question in the comments about how to get regular naps when her babies fall asleep when nursing and take an hour to eat. This got me thinking some more about the [...]

From the archives: When breastfeeding multiples "fails"
January 13th, 2009 by LauraC · 17 Comments
I originally wrote this post for HDYDI last April as my boys approached their second birthday. As new readers have come to our blog in that time, I thought I would repost my experience trying to exclusively breastfeed.

November 30th, 2008 by Goddess in Progress · 13 Comments
Eva has two year old boy/girl twins, Jordan and Sarah. She works full time as a professor of human development.
What do you think when you hear that someone is nursing TWO YEAR OLDS? Surprise? Discomfort? Disgust? If they’re old enough to ask for it, they’re too old? I might have thought some of these. I [...]

How DO People Do It?
November 12th, 2008 by MamaCyn · 6 Comments
I have a confession to make: I have no idea how to be alone with all four of my children (awake) at the same time.
Sure, my 3-year old is a dream; she is really almost entirely self-sufficient. Baby Brett is also pretty easy. But as he is a 100% breast-fed baby, when it’s time for [...]

The things you forget

It really is amazing, how fast you forget.
Fellow HDYDI mom Rebecca and I had the pleasure of visiting the delightful Mommy, Esq over the weekend. We both remember how nice it was to have people bring real food and company in those newborn days, so it was time to pay forward the favor people had [...]

Going Back to a Singleton
September 3rd, 2008 by MamaCyn · 5 Comments
There are so many differences between a singleton pregnancy and birth and a multiple one. I am so very, very fortunate to have been able to experience both already. I feel like the first time around I was overwhelmed as a new mother. But after having twins, my perspective has changed slightly. So I’m thrilled that I [...]

The First Year with Twins.
July 16th, 2008 by MamaCyn · 11 Comments
This past Sunday my twins turned one. I can hardly believe it. The year absolutely flew by.
I had been planning to write a little post on surviving your first year with twins, but as I started thinking about what I would say, I started to realize something. This year wasn’t just about survival. Sure, in [...]
