One month old


One month old and one month of breastfeeding. I feel really blessed to be able to breastfeed a second time. I love seeing that little zen face staring off into space with darting eyes as she feeds.

We have her in our bed for now and although it wasn´t part of a campaign or a philosophy, we are cosleeping again. It just feels right having her in our bed. She has her own bedroom and a bed for naps and we put her in that at night around 7:30, then I take her into our bed at around 10:30. It´s easier for feedings and I like waking up with her next to me.

I´m not sure how long we will breastfeed or how long she´ll stay in our bed. You can´t decide those things ahead of time. I think we´ll just take it as it comes and see what happens.

Ah! The milk coma! That's such an amazing look.

I set no specific time frame on breastfeeding. We're now at 17 months and DD has no desire to stop (Mommy is thinking about it though...). Same with co-sleeping.

What a cutie she is.

Ah Chris! I tried to reply to your email, but it bounced back. I'll have to try it again. She is perfectly gorgeous.

Glad the breastfeeding is going well.

Congratulations!

I just read your birth story. It was really interesting to hear from another American expat giving birth in a hospital with very different ideas from one's own. I'm sorry that you went through so much stress bringing her into the world, but am so pleased for you that she's here. She's gorgeous! Congratulations!
