Holy Knackers! Yer so prolific! Do you write these fabulous articles while nursing? How long have you been working on this excellent blog?

Betsy B. Honest said...

Okay, well since 2007 obviously. Impressive!

Lisa C said...

Wow, what a list! Hopefully it will help a lot of people.

Lauren Wayne said...

Yes, since 2007. My baby was born in June, so I gave myself a few months to get my act together. I found I was overflowing with things to say about parenting, and it needed an outlet! (No one around here wanted to listen to me natter on...) I have found typing while nursing to be extremely frustrating and try to fob the kiddo off onto Sam or wait till he's asleep to write. You know what's even more frustrating? Typing one-handed in the dark while trying to put a baby to sleep. Makes me want to scream, hunting and pecking for keys when I can't judge distances on the keyboard. So I just read inane things online or play computer games. If I read blog posts I want to comment on, I can't stand it, because I can't type right then to reply!

This index of breastfeeding posts took me so much longer to compile than I thought it would. I seriously almost gave up. And now that it's done, I think it's so fun to have that I feel like I should do one for every major category on the site: babywearing, cosleeping, elimination communication, etc. Have I lost my mind?? :)
