A Little Princess Childhood Memories

            Does anyone remember watching  the movie called A Little Princess? I use to watch it growing up it was one of my favorite movies and always will be! I am watching the movie tonight! 
             All little girls of all ages,races and backgrounds should always feel and believe that they are princess! No little girl
No not one should feel left out and feel like they are not princesses! All woman are princesses! All woman and little girls are princesses because we are children of God so that makes us royalty! So therefore we are princesses! All little boys and men are princes because they are Gods children so therefore they are royalty!

I Feel Exhausted!

            I feel exhausted from today's work as a full time mommy that's right I said it! Being a full time mommy is work and it's hard work that us mommys don't get paid for doing. We don't get paychecks for working full time at home with our children! We do how ever get rewarded with loving affections and I love you's from our children when our children get old enough to talk! When our children are not talking yet we get to see all our children's cute smiles,laughs and grins! Mommys who stay at home get to see and hear all of our children's firsts in life!
I got to see my daughter take her very first steps! My daughters first words were mama! I got to hear my sons first laughs and his first sounds he is only almost 2 months old and is already trying to start baby talk!

I feel like a cow being milked

         I feel like I am a cow that's being milked. I am constantly breastfeeding my son. I breastfeeding him just about every hour or hour and half. He is constantly hungry so I am constantly breastfeeding him non stop! Now don't get me wrong I love my son very much. I love and enjoy breastfeeding! I love knowing I am giving my son the best my breast milk. I just get tried of feeling like I am constantly being sucked on knowing that my son sometimes is really not eating and using me as a pacifier. This is part of breastfeeding this is my journey of being a breastfeeding mom is there any breastfeeding moms out that feel the same way sometimes!

My Breastfeeding Journey

         I have been breastfeeding my son since the day he was born! If I knew what I know now about breastfeeding I would have continued breastfeeding my daughter when I started breastfeeding her. My son is now 5 weeks old and still going strong things have gotten better with breastfeeding! 
         We had A rough start I experienced a lot of struggles during this journey of breastfeeding with my son that I didn't experience with my daughter. For example incorrect latching my son was incorrectly latching and I didn't know it and my nipples were so burised and sore. I daughter I know now latched on correctly and she was getting enough breastmilk which I was paranoid about what I have learned with my son I should have known with my daughter but no one told me. Plus it didn't help we I had no one in my Conner to support me in my breastfeeding journey with my daughter.
This is why I decided to create Katherine's Breastfeeding Support Page on FB. Because all woman & mothers who are thinking about breastfeeding and  who are breastfeeding need to have support! I created a place on FB for that support,encouraent,inspiration and sharing of breastfeeding stories life experiences! It is so important that woman have support From other woman and breastfeeding mothers! This is a place they can come to to form relationships with other woman and breastfeeding mothers!

Update

Update I going to pump every two hours like the doctors want me to! My Dirty little secret is I am still going to nurse my son when he is hungry! Regales what the DOCTORS say and my BF! I can't take just pumping every two hours and not nurse my son when he is hungry!

The Doctors Orders Pumping Only Until Appointment on Wednesday!

I have a question I have been exclusively breastfeeding my son for almost a month since he has been born but my son has not gained his birth weight back year has anyone experienced this? Also his doctors said my breastmilk supply could be low I have tried differant options now I left with just point breastmilk and document it of how much I pumping out and giving him before I may have to start giving my son formula my boyfriend does not want me to just give him breastmilk I have pumped he wants me to give him formula to I am against it? Will it be hard for me ton latch my son back on once the doctors see how much I am pumping out and
They give me the okay to do so? 
How do I know my son is really latched on right even though it looks like he is but my nipples still be sore? Is there a reason why my nipples still be sore even though he is latched on right?

Breastfeeding

I am currently exclusively breastfeeding and I am loving it I don't get exclusively breastfeed my daughter I supplemented with formula because I was new mom and was scared she was not getting enough milk plus it didn't help with her father not on board with breastfeeding he was paranoid about her not getting enough to eat which made me even more parnoid 
He is on board this time he has tried to get me to give our son formula I stuck to my guys and said no I am breastfeeding After awhile he got on board and has even bought me electrical breast pump that I can use its also battery operated he also bought breast milk storage bags I wish I had stuck to my guys with my our first child our daughter to just breastfeed only but I have lived and learn through experience I am so glad he gave up on me giving our son formula plus it helps he is a truck driver and I told him when he is not home I was breastfeeding! That's when he decided to give in to my demands of breastfeeding and he didn't have a choice but to be on board
