Why the Cry-It-Out method is wrong, and the Love-Baby-Up method is right.

Breastfeeding is more rewarding than I ever imagined.

You are the only person who will breast feed your baby. That may seem weird or obvious now, but if your experience is anything like mine, after you are in the hang of breastfeeding it will fill with meaning and emotion. It will at times be frustrating, inconvenient, scary, a good excuse, soothing, pleasant, and wonderful. You get to bond with your baby in a way that no one else can, and you get to start doing it regularly, many times every day. Feedings become a small time-out from the rest of the world where you get to just sit and love each other.

It is also un-intuitive and difficult to get the hang of.

I wish I had known what to expect. This site is for those of you who are breastfeeding, or will be soon, and want honest matter-of-fact information, so that you can get over the hard parts of breastfeeding and on to the wonderful parts.

Information from a new mom, for new moms.

As a new mom, there were a lot of surprises for me. I have captured here the things that I wish I had known in the first few months, some of the great products that helped (or that I wished I had found earlier), and the best resources I've come across. I hope you find this information useful! (This, of course, should not take the place of medical input.)
