The Beautiful Letdown

A breastfeeding blog that dabbles in tandem, extended nursing, gentle parenting and much more

I am still here!

September30

It may not seem like it, but I am still around. I think about blogging at least once a day. I think about topics for blogging quite often. I just seem to be missing the step in the process where I sit down and write out my thoughts.

Some of you may know that we now have baby #2 in our family. I had a baby boy July 15th, and I’m now a tandem, extended nursing mom. Both boys are still going strong breastfeeding. K, my 23 month old nurses about 6 times a day, and A, my 11 week old nurses about every 2 to 2.5 hours during the day and every 4 hours at night so about 10 times a day. Wow, that sounds like a lot when I say it that way. :-) It really doesn’t seem like that much, but I suppose 16+ nursing sessions a day is quite a bit.

Now that I’ve taken the time to sit down and start blogging, I have about 10 topics running through my head. Instead of squeezing them all into one humongous post, I’ll just let you know what will be coming on my blog in the next few days and weeks. My (40 minute) birth story, tandem nursing, extended nursing, dealing with a toddler and an infant, cloth diapering, dairy sensitivities, and overactive letdown and over supply.
