To Breastfeeding

 

 

 

Oh, breastfeeding!

We’ve made it one year

Through pain, ease, and nutrition

Let’s give a cheer

 

But I’m done now, I’m through

I shrunk while my baby grew

Goodbye my boobs, goodbye my bum

It wasn’t always easy, it wasn’t always fun

 

Oh breastfeeding, I will miss the close bond

But when baby cried at night, it was me who always had to respond

I won’t miss the hair pulling nor biting nor leaking 

Now it is time for my baby to learn independent feeding

 

I want to throw the pump away

I promise it will be okay

I want to wear any type of clothes I want

So I won’t have to worry how to nurse in a restaurant

 

Oh breastfeeding, I thank you

But my body is now mine again

At least for the time being

To part ways with you is very freeing

So you’re thinking about cloth diapering? That’s awesome! I think it is important to look at all options before making a final decision when it comes to anything baby-related. You will be dealing with diapers for ~ 2+ years, or more if you choose to have multiple children. Time should be spent considering the pros and cons of each diapering option.

After much research, I personally decided to diaper my kids with all-in-one cloth diapers. Below I’ll discuss my reasons why I chose cloth diapers, why I love all-in-ones, my cloth diapering supplies, how to clean the diapers, and give you tips I’ve learned along the way. I hope you find this information helpful in making your own decisions about diapering!

Baby Registry: Gear

Do babies really need all this stuff? No, not exactly but a lot of these items can definitely make a parent’s life easier and a baby much happier! Make sure to add these gear (travel, play, development, etc) items to your baby registry because they tend to be on the more expensive side and you’ll be surprised at what your generous family and friends are willing to buy you.

Baby Registry: For the Parents

Babies require a lot of stuff. You need items for bathing the baby, feeding the baby, clothing the baby, etc. Besides the necessities, it is important to remember that new parents have needs too! Your life is going to be turned upside down so don’t feel bad about registering for some items that will improve your quality of life.
