Love many, trust a few, and always paddle your own canoe

Ah, what's not to like about breastfeeding...OK, the embarrassing tell-tale wet spots on your favorite shirt during a staff meeting, the painful initial let down and engorgement, the corset-like bras...but then, there are the loving little touches and exchanges between you and your little one, the sweet relief of let down after you've waited a bit too long to feed, and the fact that it's always the RIGHT amount, RIGHT temperature and it comes in such nice packaging!
And then you find a bra like the one I got today, and you wanna keep breastfeeding just so you have an excuse to keep wearing it! Jane's Bra Top from Blue Canoe...Made in the USA, organically grown cotton, eco-friendly dyes...are you salivating yet E? It's SO comfy, and just the pull-to-the-side kind which I have to say I like better than the confining military-style clips and clasps...I may even wear it to bed! And it came with some organic cotton pads that I will pass on if I don't wind up using them. But I would have to say, my ABSOLUTE favorite thing about breastfeeding is that this...


Turns into this...


Oh, and the fact you can justify the 800 extra calories per day...Hey, I needed all those donuts just to keep up!
