I am a feed on demand, still breastfeeding after a year, co-sleeping, cant WAIT for him to self wean mommy! lol... Mom's should do what they can and what they feel is best for their children without being judged. Girl, you couldnt have said it any better!

I could not have said it better!! What a great blog post!! I did not breastfeed, I did try but Caiden wasn't having it. She is a very smart kid so formula seemed to have done it's job!! :-) As far as the co-sleeping. Caiden is almost 7 and sleeps with me every night. That is my time to read to her, to talk to her, to love on her with no other destractions. Plus I am a lazy mommy and really don't feel like battling the "I dont want to sleep in my room" fits!! She will start sleeping in her room when she is ready!! But again!! Lori your post ROCKED!! OMGosh Lori. I could not have said it better!! What a great blog post!!

Did I try? Yes, but it just did not work. Am I ashamed of that? No. I did what I HAD to do for my kids. They are healthy and happy and none the wiser that they were not breastfed. If I could of breastfed, would I have done it extended? I would have breastfed until they were self weaned, yes. Even when I was giving my kids a bottle or even table food, I fed on demand. When they NEEDED it. That’s what we should do as moms- I teared up reading that paragraph. That was my situation. I tried breastfeeding, but it just didn't work. While I have no problem with the woman on the cover, I felt in a way they were saying I wasn't woman enough because I couldn't breastfeed. This is great post Lori!!! -Let me start off by saying a few things about our parenting style, I did NOT breastfeed. Did I try? Yes, but it just did not work. Am I ashamed of that?

If we, as moms, refuse to accept the divide-and-conquer tactics, we can shout those meanies down. I think the TIME cover & story were designed to set us at each others throats, to keep us from focusing on the real issue: how motherhood (and parenthood, really) is unsupported in this country. We need maternity and paternity leave, affordable day care, and flexible work schedules. TIME created a sensational cover to sell magazines and break our focus. Shame on them!! Hear hear!!

It is correct that cut-out tables should be avoided, and while side-lying the mother should be on her left side as much as possible as opposed to the right to decrease the risk of vena cava compression. Semi-recumbant (but not supine) can also be used after the back/back of legs has been massaged.

It shows how we must take care of our <a href="http://knoji.com/healthandmed-review-and-promo-coupon-code/" rel="nofollow">health</a> and not take anything for granted. I have found that having a garden is key to helping us eat healthy, fresh fruit and veges are so much better than who knows what, with who knows what chemicals on it? Vitamins too! We might not always eat right but we can use vitamins to make up for it. As I understand it food is less nutritious in general as farmers are trying to keep up with the demands of the growing population, they take short cuts, using water and hormones to make things bigger, but more food does not mean more nutrition. Anyhow, back on topic.. I so hope he takes care and this scare is not too serious. Fluid around the heart does not sound too good to me. Wow, quite the scare.

My boys yelled " mom please take me on opening day". Although, I had meetings already scheduled for that weekend. I decided to allow my assistant to take my meeting over for me so I can spend time with my boys. The night the movie came out I took my kids to see the movie. They loved it!
