I’ve been following a thread on MDC where people have been adding links to their favourite breastfeeding images, be they photos, paintings, sketches, statues, advertisements, public awareness campaigns or jewellery.
But as with all threads on such busy forums, this one will eventually start to slip into the archives, so I thought I would take [...]

My latest post for API Speaks, this one’s for all the wonderful dads!

Littlepixie has started carrying her dolly around in a homemade sling, she holds dolly against her chest and I tie a muslin cloth around them.

The human milk bank in Fermanagh urgently needs more donors, especially from the Republic of Ireland. You may recall that my first post was about our milk bank.
Well, yesterday Tanya Cassidy left a comment on that post sharing her experience of receiving donor milk for her second premature son after sadly losing her first son [...]

My latest post for API Speaks, it’s a follow on from this post from last year!
I’m the type of person that likes to be active about the things I am passionate about. In parenting spheres my passions include “extended” breastfeeding and carrying my child, usually in a sling. I remember when littlepixie was tiny, I [...]

1. Give up the whole [...]

Littlepixie’s 5th tooth broke through yesterday, another top front one. If she follows her previous patterns, another one may arrive within the next two weeks, or not, who knows!
She’s feeding non-stop these days and all through the night, I noticed on Saturday evening that her saliva was starting to feel a little acidic and [...]
