We co-slept as well so their sleep habits were started from day one. Here's what our equation looked like Mommy + Breastmilk = Sleep. Some days it was great. Most days it was difficult. But it went by pretty fast and I don't regret it. I'm crazy like that. You know how they say, "Moms nap when your baby … [Read more...]

April 28, 2014 By LaVonne

This post brought to you by Sam’s Club. All opinions are 100% mine.   I can clearly remember over six years ago when my Princess was born. We had her at a birth center in Northern California at about 8pm. My midwife told me I could head home once I went to the bathroom and my Princess breastfed. Easy peasy.

My Little Man is 19 months old and I am still breastfeeding him. My plan is to breastfeed him until he is two years old. I also practiced extended breastfeeding with my first child.

My son and I... oye.
