The Little Ones Love It


The Little Girls LOVE this stuff - Chapstick True Shimmers that is. Remember my review of the product? If not, see it here. Well I thought the Chapstick True Shimmers were okay, but my little sister who is 8 years old? Forget about it, it's like holy grail to her. She wears it and reapplies it faithfully, only to stare at her lips in the mirror asking if it shimmers in the light. I can only roll my eyes, shake my head, and wonder if I was like that when I was her age... probably. Anyway, she loves it and gives it a 10 out of 10!

Post-Pregnancy Body Issues: Sagging Breasts



Although I'm not a mom yet, I find everything about pregnancy, labor, delivery, and post-pregnancy very interesting.  Which is probably why my dream is to be in that realm of nursing, I'm just putting in my dues right now on a medical/surgical floor.  Anyway when this e-mail fell into my inbox about Post-Pregnancy Plastic Surgery Issues, I almost dismissed it as a real waste of time.  I couldn't understand why anyone would be thinking about altering their body right after performing one of life's little miracles.  But then I thought about those women who pregnancy really takes a huge toll on and opened the email because my curiosity got the best of me.  


The best part of the entire Plastic Surgery Q&A email with Dr. Nina S. Naidu was the confirmation that breast feeding does not cause sagging breast!  Here is the quote: "there was a very interesting study published in the September issue of the Aesthetic Surgery Journal which examined the link between breast feeding and breast sagging, or breast ptosis, and found no relation between the two. While there were many relevant factors including age, smoking history, number of prior pregnancies, and weight, breast feeding was not a factor."  


As a nurse these things tend to interest me so I'll include the link to the study for all those who are also interested.
Here is a link to the study:

Now that's it been proven, let's celebrate with some products just for breast feeding mamas!
 

 Natural Nipple Butter from Earth Mama Angel Baby - If you breastfeed properly it should not be painful, but that doesn't mean it will always be pleasant.  You may experience sore nippies, this Natural Nipple Butter gives sore and cracked nipples relief by keeping them nourished, protected and moisturized helps you as you nourish your angel baby, naturally.

Nursing Covers - Breastfeeding in public is fine with me as long as it's done in a tasteful manner, the baby has to eat too right?  These nursing covers have you covered...literally.
