Breastfeeding Husband
Does Your Husband Care About Breastfeeding?
My husband is a breastfeeding fanatic. It's not the act he's crazy about, but the benefits for our lil guy that keep him pushing me to nurse longer. While I know "breast is best" sometimes I just want to stock up on formula and bottles.

Handling Differences of Opinion on Feeding Baby
New mamas face plenty of unsolicited advice as they begin navigating life with their newborn. From day one there are opinions about rooming in during your hospital stay, vaccination schedules and breast versus bottle feeding. Assuming you are secure in your feeding decision, it may take some time to convince family and friends about the choice you made.
When Birth Control Gets a FAIL
Could someone be pregnant and truly not know it? As crazy as that sounds, it's not such a far-fetched idea for a woman on the pill, using an IUD (intrauterine device), breastfeeding, or using other highly preventative birth control measures. At some point, she'll probably tune into the fact that she's carrying a baby, but it may take her a little while to entertain the notion of buying a pregnancy test.
What to Expect at Your Postpartum Checkup
Mamas wait for what seems like an eternity for their babies, so when they finally arrive it's a big relief. There's another wonderful thing that comes with holding the warm bundle of joy, clearing your calendar of prenatal appointments! But, before women can pencil in other activities, they need to go in for their six week postpartum checkup.
Lactation Consultants Lead Babies to Mother's Milk
Expectant mamas planning on nursing their newborn straight out of the womb are often surprised by the task — especially first time mothers. Some lucky mamas may slip into a nice natural groove while others, like myself, find themselves tortured by the pain. After a few agitated days of breastfeeding, I buckled under pressure and sought out a lactation consultant to advise me on my practices.
Tell Mommy: The Case Against Breastfeeding
Since 1997, the American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended exclusive breastfeeding for a baby's first six months of life and in 2004, the Department of Health and Human Services launched their famous National Breastfeeding Awareness Campaign. With these two influential organizations strongly advocating "breast is best," new moms have been inundated with statistics and information encouraging them to nurse.
This month's Atlantic Monthly presents the opposing view, with Hannah Rosin's Case Against Breast-Feeding.
Wonder Woman: Natalie Morales
Most moms don't fondly reminisce about the mornings they watched the sun rise while trying to coax a tot back into bed. After three years in her current news desk role on NBC's Today Show, Natalie Morales has seen more than her fair share of early mornings.
The mom of two — Josh, 5, and Luke, 6 months — juggles a high-powered, very visible job with a knack for running that has seen her complete five marathons.

Why Didn't Anybody Tell Me? Mastitis
In my days of baby preparation, I read tons of pregnancy books to soak up as much information as possible. Most of the texts offered up a small section dedicated to mastitis. Seemingly not that common, I skimmed over it and didn't pay much attention to the subject.
