Though my "babies" are all old enough to drive a car, I've been following the nationwide baby formula shortages with alarm over the rhetoric being aimed at parents who are feeding their babies formula. Instead of trying to find ways to h…

I'm a nursing mother, so it's not unusual to see images of breastfeeding moms and babes when I scroll through my Instagram. And while I fully expect to see this content from my fave maternity sites and pro-breastfeeding bloggers, the rec…
Every breastfeeding mom I know absolutely despises the "pump and dump." All that work to throw my liquid gold down the drain? No, thanks. But it's a reality for many moms who travel for work and have no other option besides risking spoil…

There's nothing more magical than holding your baby close as you fill that chunky little tummy. Well, except for maybe unicorns. Yep, unicorns are more magical. And now you can have both. The limited-edition Unikiki Nursing Pillow design…
Ahh, the breast pump. Not the most glamorous part of new motherhood. But for many of us, it's a necessity. Whether you're just pumping and freezing so your partner can take the midnight feedings or you're headed back to work but don't wa…
When I returned to work while breastfeeding my first daughter, I found myself sorely unprepared for everything it entailed. I can't even begin to convey the frustration I experienced -- though I'm sure a lot of you know just what I'd bee…

It's probably going to get me kicked out of the state of California where breastfeeding is a religion, but I'm just going to say it: Breastfeeding can sometimes suck. Literally and figuratively. Obviously, it's rewarding in countless way…

Okay, I'm going to get one important thing out of the way first: The maternity and nursing clothing line I'm about to tell you about is a splurge. Like, a really big splurge. But if your best friend has the nerve to get married when you'…
It's 3 a.m. and your baby is screaming at the top of her lungs. You are trying to heat up breast milk as quickly as humanly possible. Microwaving creates hot spots and potentially burnt mouths. Placing a bottle in a pot of boiling water …
