Nanny to Mommy

I have been trying to cut out some sugar from my diet, not all, but some. I recently was sent SweetLeaf Stevia to review. I have tried other stevia sweeteners out there, but there is definitely a difference between this one.

SweetLeaf Organic Stevia® Sweetener is a Certified Organic, zero-calorie sweetener made from high-quality stevia leaves. SweetLeaf Organic Stevia Sweetener is very convenient because it dissolves instantly and is perfect for sweetening not only hot or cold beverages,

With warmer weather quickly approaching, this means we will be outside exerting more energy. Which is GREAT! I don't know about you (especially you folks up north), but I have been missing going to the park with my kiddos, hiking, and swimming. But with spring and warmer weather comes (at least for my family) flair ups due to seasonal allergies. And unfortunately there isn't too much you can do besides take allergy medicine and make sure you HYDRATE!

 

 

I recently had the opportunity to review DripDrop with my family. DripDrop hydration powder was developed by a Mayo Clinic-trained family physician. It treats and prevents dehydration in adults and children.

I'm a Sisterhood of Motherhood Partner and a sponsored blog partner, but all opinions here are my own. Please see below for additional disclosure.

My breastfeeding journey has been a long one. I was very uneducated when I first started my journey and of course inexperienced. I had read very little about breastfeeding because I was more worried about giving birth and everything I did read was either hard to follow or very discouraging. When I announced my decision to try breastfeeding when I was pregnant, it was returned with very little support.



When my daughter first latched, something felt off. I couldn't explain it. I also thought no one would be allowed in the delivery room, so I didn't let her nurse as long as she wanted so we could rush upstairs to post-partum so everyone could see her.

The day following her delivery she was very sleepy and had trouble attaching for feedings. I talked to the lactation consultant who wanted me to use a nipple shield and the football hold, both of which I could never figure out. I also didn't know I should wake her to nurse every 2-3 hours so my milk could come in. Her first night home was rough. She wanted to stay cuddled right next to me, so I didn't sleep a wink. Those first few days home were the worst. I had read that a good latch would hurt initially, but shouldn't continue to hurt during feedings. But hers did, a sharp wincing pain that was so bad I was to the point where I would dread feeding her. I found that lying down to nurse helped her latch in a way that wasn't painful for me.
