I’m not one to regret much. I like to focus on moving forward. Still, there are times when I do think about things I would do differently if I had a do over. Do you have a moment you would do over if you had the chance? My Breastfeeding Journey Although I don’t regret all [...]
This week I’m excited to introduce a new guest blogger! Melissa has been a joy to work with and I feel honored that she would choose Formula Mom as the place to share her own breastfeeding journey! My name is Melissa, and I write product reviews for my sister’s blog, More Than A Home, a [...]
On Monday, I started telling the story of my breastfeeding experience. If you haven’t read the first part, I would suggest you start there. So, my story continues with W turning a week old and we were in the middle of the vicious cycle of putting him to the breast, trying to use the syringe [...]
Yesterday’s post and the discussions in the comments prompted me to do something I’ve wanted to do for a while and that is share my breastfeeding experience. I’ve discussed nursing tanks I loved, bottles that worked for us when W was a newborn, worried about pacifiers, and even gave some formula advice that not everyone [...]
As I’ve discussed before, we began using bottles very early on as we had to supplement with formula when W was just a few weeks old.

Now, if you’ve read anything about my struggle with breastfeeding, you might be wondering why I am reviewing a breastfeeding accessory! Well, to be honest, this is just one of those things [...]
N is for Nursing Tanks. They saved my life after W was born and are one of the things we (or I) love and probably couldn’t do without! Before W was born, I purchased a cheap nursing bra and two nursing tanks at Target. They were affordable and I couldn’t bring myself to spend a [...]
Saving on Baby Formula One thing I’d never considered during my pregnancy was baby formula. My plans for W included exclusively breastfeeding and pumping at work. No where in my mind did I think about baby formula. A box arrived on my door step from Similac with samples and coupons and I did stash it [...]
