Learning to latch your baby...

So after observing new babies and their first attempts to feed over the last two years I have come to my own conclusion that about +-40% of new babies just open their mouth nice and wide and turn out to be natural breast feeders. The other +-60% have to learn and need help. I just worked with a women who struggled and it wasn't until the 5th day after an hour of work that we finally got the little guy on their! It was such a victory! When it is difficult and a mother does not have good support the breastfeeding experience may struggle to survive past a couple weeks. But just know that once the learning and correct habits are formed breastfeeding becomes as natural as breathing and your baby benefits beyond measure from this perfect food.

Things our children say...

May I suggest that all you moms and moms to be start writing down all the cute little things are little ones do and say. These moments pass so fast and it is easy to forget. I am vowing to write down, right here, the things that strike me when my children speak.

"Is God happy?" My son asks me this all the time when an event that stands out to him happens.

"Mom, does God dance when we play music?" -Tajalli

"When we go to sleep, does our heart go to sleep also?" -Taj
