This Blog is dedicated to all parents. Multi-tasking, huh, we're way beyond that. I'll try my best to post tips, silly stories and all those things other parents seem to "forget" to mention to you.

Checked out at the check out...
As I was waiting in line at a local grocery store checkout, my 3-year-old daughter full-on grabbed my breasts, prompting several guys behind us to chuckle aloud. I understand she was venting her frustration and jealously-I only wish it hadn't been so public. My daughter is quite jealous of my son when he's breastfeeding and often refers to my breasts as "Aedan's boobies." I knew having a sibling was going to be a tough transition for my daughter and expected some regression. But, I was thinking regressing back to diapers or a pacifier. I never took into account breastfeeding. Then, at one point, my daughter actually wanted to nurse again. I had to explain to her that she is a big girl and doesn't need mommy's milk anymore-the milk is for Aedan now. Trying to appease her, I added that Aedan can't have chocolate milk like she can-he's just a baby. Also, I try to give her equal snuggle time after I feed my son so she doesn't feel left out.
