   katonialynn replied to Moondance's topic in Pre-Nursing

   katonialynn replied to cassey's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I just wanted to say how wonderful I think it is that you are still breastfeeding! I hated pumping and often had a difficult time getting away from the floor to pump. By the time my daughter was about 8 months and was eating food in addition to BF I ...
