My name is Kate and I currently live in central NJ but I'm originally from MA (Boston Strong)... I am a counselor specializing in working with tweens/teens who have body image issues, self-harm, depression, low self esteem etc. and work to provide coping skills . I have specialized training in substance and drug use and a background in developmental psychology.
I had my little guy, Jacob, on 11/2/15 and he is the light of my life. I am currently staying at home with him and not returning to work, possibly starting my own private practice. I EBF and it's the best decision I have ever made.
Breastfeeding mamas: the best advice I can give is not to introduce a pacifier until after your milk comes in... Everytime baby cries latch baby on... Breastfeeding hurts but it's only temporary! I highly recommend using the honest companies nipple balm, it was a godsend!

Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Please share your breastfeeding stories and tips!
Hi everyone! @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom here. For today's chat we're going to talk about breastfeeding and pumping in honor of World Breastfeeding Week! Both can seem complicated or stressful, but remember you have lots of support here! With my first son I had things going against us for breastfeeding.
I wish I knew back when he was younger that we could have still tried! With my second...

Am I wrong to be upset? Last night I was running a fever, weak, tired, sore, my left boob feels like it got used as a punching bag. I asked my husband to call out of work today to help me with the kid so I could get some rest. He went to work. I texted him this morning. Part of me thinks I mean. The other part of me thinks I was fine for saying that because he should've stayed home with us.
I guess sharing my personal info on here means having it used against me in a personal disagreement yes I was raped and no you have no right to use my daughter against me as a personal jab
