Breastfeeding Bohemian.

I am doing the organic festival this weekend. I am so nervous. Not about the festival. I am nervous about leaving the baby :(. Previous times when I have left him home with E, he didn't take the bottle too well and he cried a lot. :(. I may only be able to stay at the craft fair for a couple of hours.

Which is super sad, because this fair is so much fun. Last year when I went I had a great time. There is great food (all of it is Vegan), great vendors (including me, of course), and a great atmosphere. I remember seeing this lady looking super cute, in her bohemian outfit, breastfeeding her infant (discreetly) on a blanket, listening to the live music. I remember being like: I want to be like that when I have kids.

But now that I have one, I am like: how am I going to breastfeed him sitting up like that? That would kill my back. And what about the bugs? I would want to hurt myself if I let him get bit up by mosquitoes. And the HEAT. What kind of mother would I be to expose him to the heat wave we are having this year? I don't think it was this hot last year.

Besides, I definitely wouldn't be as cute as she - I would have to have a humongous, ridiculous-looking towel under the other breast to catch the spraying milk - or have a huge wet spot. Either way, it would totally ruin the whole bohemian look.

Coin Purse

I made a video this weekend showing how to make a super simple, super cute change purse! I edited it and everything. My brother (the beat master) made this beat just for me. Tell me what you think.

Pacifier Head Strap

So, our son loves to suck. Fortunately, this now includes the pacifier. Unfortunately, it won't stay in his mouth if he decides to pause and take a break. Instead of having to hover over him, waiting for the pacifier to slip out of his mouth, I made a him a head strap.

E says it puts him in the mind of Hannibal. We won't go out in public with it.

UPDATE: We stopped using it. It may be a good technical solution, apparently it is not a good medical one.
