I know three mommies who are expecting this year – a cousin who is having a girl, and two friends who are also on the way. All of them are on their second or third child so they are no longer expecting baby showers for the babies. Besides, most of them are wise enough to invest on things that will last on their first baby – strollers, crib, playpens, walkers, all in neutral colors – so the second baby’s expenses will be cheaper.

I’ve been telling them to try breastfeeding a second time as well. They can get a cheap breast pump from AllegroMedical.com and if it wouldn’t work out, at least they haven’t invested so much.

Breastfeeding is really an effort as much as it is a learning process. It is not easy – so you have to be armed with all the information and determination you will need to be able to succeed.
