It’s so beautiful and so sad. 

[raisingsunflowers-blog]

This is heartbreaking. I can’t even imagine.

[carterandme]

currently sobbing.. so heartbreaking.

[waitingonmysomeday-deactivated2]

I have never cried harder at something on here.

[mommastingray]

I tried to scroll past this because I knew it would hurt to watch.

I’m still crying and I had to share.

Watched this while nursing Mason. Made me hold on a little tighter. God, I couldn’t even imagine. Still crying.

I couldn’t finish this. Too many feelings, too many tears. I made it to 8 minutes, I could not watch her bathe her child for the last time.

I sobbed. Not cried but full on snotty nosed sobbed and just looked at Kylee and loved her more than ever. We almost refused to do the testing because we had decided that if something that been wrong, we wouldn’t have terminated. I want to say I would have the strength this family did but I dont think I could have. They gave Thomas 5 days of pure love. This couple is far stronger than anyone I know.

No breast-milk substitute, not even the most sophisticated and nutritionally balanced formula, can begin to offer the numerous unique health advantages that breast milk provides for babies. Nor can artificial feeding do more than approximate the act of breastfeeding, in physiological and emotional significance, for babies and mothers alike. And no matter how appropriate infant formula may be from a nutritional standpoint, when infants are not breastfed or are breastfed only partially, feeding with formula remains a deviation from the biological norm for virtually all infants. Therefore, infant formula should not be marketed or distributed in any environment in ways that may interfere with the protection and promotion of breastfeeding.

Just bought a new laptop including windows 8 and it SUCKS.

thiswearyhead said: Disagree. Pumping instead of nursing for a day can hurt your supply. Can you take a break if your nipples are absolutely killing you? Sure. But you should focus on getting a good latch, not just stop nursing for a day.

  True, I wasn't saying that you should stop, but indeed you need to take a break.

Still no babies :(

Work

Hope a baby has been born so I can get back to work tomorrow! I miss taking care of babies now that I've had a vacay haha. Anyway, no babies, no work.. Hope they call me in the morning :)

Noises

Did you know, your newborn won't mind noises at all? He has heard all kinds of noises (vacuumcleaner, music..) when he was still in your belly. So don't be afraid of making a little bit of noise. Music can even calm them down!

postpartum psychosis and prenatal depression

Had class about this today and this is really bad. Really bad. Did you know that 1:10 moms develop a prenatal depression? Only 1:500 moms (THANKGOD) develop a postpartum psychosis.

Breastfeeding

Is your baby constantly falling asleep while breastfeeding? Try to feed him naked. Bare skin to bare skin. Babies love that (and it's good to have skin contact!) and it makes them more alert. Also, when you're feeding over 45 minutes, it isn't effective and it will ruin your nipples. When your nipples hurt, try to pump for one day to releave them.
