All Covered in . . . .

. . . milk. Seriously.

Let me back up a bit. Now, since I know that the majority of people who are going to read this are women I'm not going to hold back. With Little Man I wanted to nurse him so much. He wouldn't latch on. He would latch on with a shield but because I had SOOOOO much milk that when he was done and broke away from the breast I would have milk going everywhere. EVERYWHERE. I would have to change my clothes and his clothes every time I attempted to nurse him. Now having that much milk can be nice as I know my baby was getting enough. Not so nice to change my clothes every time I tried to nurse. Thus I decided to pump and give him milk that way. I did that for three to three and half months and then had had enough of sleepless nights, cleaning equipment, and just plain emotionally drained from trying to get him to latch and he wouldn't.

This time around Babe has done wonders. She latched on from the beginning and has been a champ. It's been quite the learning experience as I'm getting used to the soreness and how to latch her on properly. The only downer part again was the fact that I would take a milk bath every time I nursed her. I was getting frustrated with the fact that I couldn't keep a bra dry for more than 3 hours and I was leaking like crazy. Then I remembered that my sister, Britt, mentioned Milkies. So I looked them up and decided to get one. Oh MY! Best purchase I ever made. I would recommend every new mom or mom get one if you have a new little one joining your family. It has kept me dry and I get to wear the same bra for more than 24hours and it stays dry! Because of my new found love with the Milkies I wanted to share it with all you moms, new moms, and soon to be moms out there. Plus for those of you who know you have a low milk supply this is a good way to get more breast milk from your letdown. I'm curious to know what you think so let me know!
