Wow, Tori looks awesome! Congratulations to her and Dean!

I hope Tori is breastfeeding. Whether it be from a bottle and pumping or by actually putting the baby to the breast and whether it be for 2 months or 12 months, any amount of breast milk is beneficial for the baby. I’m not a fan of formula at all and would never give it to my baby. Everyone has a right to choose how to feed their baby, I just hope they are well informed before doing so.

I agree it is about nipple confusion, but it’s also about the amount of milk one makes. The more you pump the more your body produces. The routine in your body is not yet set up in the first month. Obviously with a preemie or other circumstances can make you need to pump to keep milk production.

Again, this is a great forum to discuss breastfeeding. Every body, baby and pregnancy is unique.

Who cares about how she feeds her baby or if he paints his toenails. What’s more annoying is that these two are constantly staging photo ops. Look, it’s Tori and Dean… again!

Okay girls painting their toe nails is one thing, but guys do it now too? I’m not liking this…at all.

Tori looks wonderful and I love her spirit. Dean on the other hand looks ridiculous to me with his toenails painted like that. I think that it may be a “celebrity-thing” to want to stand out like that but it is very unbecoming on him. If I am correct, he is in his 40′s and (in my personal opinion)it just doesn’t look cool having all the visible tats and flashy toenails. Maybe it’s not just a celebrity-thing but a mid-life crisis thing. Anywhoo, I know that the blog is not about bashing people, so I am going to stop. Again, Tori looks fabulous!

Yea, that is more about not introducing the bottle for a while, as to not have an issue with nipple confusion, not a rule against pumping per say. My son was preemie and I pumped from day one.

Jenn – That says a lot more about using bottles too soon rather than expressing milk.

I can only hope I look that good after giving birth to my second this November! Good for her!

As far as Dean’s toe nails…it’s LA….

Yea, that is more about not intorducing the bottle for a while, as to not have an issue with nipple confusion, not a rule against pumping per say. My son was preemie and I pumped from day one.

1 – I’m not judging her. This is a blog to discuss stuff among mothers. Relax.
2 – FAQs online and when I bough my Medela pump said:
“If you are interested in having extra milk on hand for special occasions, start pumping once per day when your baby is about 3-4 weeks old. Don’t introduce bottles until baby is at least 4 weeks of age in order to get breastfeeding off to it’s best start.”
