10 Problems Only Breastfeeding Moms Understand

Oh, sure, breastfeeding is a great way to bond with your baby and it’s pretty much liquid gold, but when it comes to the day-to-day realities of what it’s like to feed another human being with your boobs, it ain’t always easy. Case in point:

1. The face grab.

Here, Mom, let me explore your mouth with my fingers. So fun! And what’s this, a nose?! Why yes, yes it is my nose.

2. The danger of dangly earrings.

There was a time in my life I used to love dangly earrings. Now, they just represent danger.

3. The foot-up-the-nose move.

Have you ever had five little piggies shoved up your nose? Maybe they should have all stayed home …

    Hi Chaunie!

    I recently found your beautiful blog and I am a big fan!

About Chaunie

Hi, I'm Chaunie and I'm glad you're here! I admit this blog is a bit rusty, as most circa 2010-blogs are, but like us elder millennial moms ourselves, I figure it can still get the job done, am I right? So here's the deal: I'm a mom of five kids, teen to toddler, I've been a writer for about 10 years, mostly penning health articles in exchange for money to pay my bills, but after I was laid off, I decided it was now or never and I'm writing my first novel in a month. And I want you to be part of the process with me. So subscribe and get weekly emails with my latest juicy drafts. It's going to be fun. Read More…
