Often times the amazing things that we do as moms don’t make national
headlines. Sometimes our small accomplishments make the headlines at
our dinner tables and sometimes they go unnoticed. So here is your
chance to toot your own horn. Go on toot it! Let’s celebrate our
small victories together.
What did you do today that made you an amazing mom?
I’ll start:
I vacuumed the living room today. Now when my daughter rolls around
on the floor she doesn’t get cat hair and fuzz all over her drool
covered face. I have been wanting to do this forever. I am so glad it
is done!
I need advice from other moms on how to get my baby to take a bottle! She took a bottle as her last feeding before bed and then it came to an abrupt stop in August (short of turning 2 months). I’ve done just about everything and have researched tips online and in parenting magazines, but hoping there would be a sneaky trick a mom may be able to provide. Thanks!
I have heard that sometimes it is better if someone else gives baby the bottle. I think the baby can smell you and knows your presence. The one time Ace drank a bottle of breastmilk I was not around when my mom-in-law gave her the bottle.
Do any of you have any tips or tricks to get your baby to take a bottle after she has been breastfeeding?

I bought my nursing cover from Rosanna a few weeks ago and I love it! I have used the cover a few times in public and it works great. I am not one of those suave mothers that can whip their boob in and out before you even know what happened. I am clumsy and modest; I need security that I am not going to flash all of Ikea.
The nursing cover is large enough to conceal everything. The ring in the strap is adjustable. The best part is the wire at the top of the cover that forms an opening for me to watch Ace and for her to see me. She doesn’t seem to mind being under the cover. The material is not very heavy. There is a terry cloth corner that weighs the material down and can serve as a burp wipe. I have not tried to wash my cover yet, so I don’t know how it comes out in the wash.
Rosanna has many beautiful prints to choose from. You can’t beat the price at $25 each. She only charges $2 for shipping. Most covers I looked at were $35 plus. When you buy from Rosanna you are supporting a local mom and not a corporate chain. Rosanna was prompt to answer my emails and ordering was easy.
Next time you need a beautiful and functional nursing cover for yourself or a new mommy check out Nursing Covers by Rosanna.
