Breastfeeding in public

Recently I notice a video on Youtube that caught my attention. The video is called Breast Feeding in Public and voices an opinion by a man who saw a women breastfeeding her child at a grocery store. The man goes in to talking about how public breastfeeding is gross unless the women looks like Angelina Jolie. He also said the women should have brought a bottle of milk. The one thing that made me upset about his video blog was is comment on how he wanted to yell at the women "got milk!?!" which is absurd and childish. How can people be so ignorant? Aside from this man there are those people who think we should go feed are children in the bathroom. Honestly how many people would take there food into a public restroom and eat it? I know I would not so why should a women have to take there child into the restroom to it? People who are uneasy by the site of a women breastfeeding need to get a life and grow up. If you don't like a women breastfeeding look away. I live in Washington and they had to pass a law that allows women to breastfeed where ever they want. I was shocked that they even had to make this a law as Seattle seems to be a caring city but, I guess there are people like the prick in the video who makes it hard for us women.

I encourage every women to breastfeed their child and look pass on what others may think. After all a baby needs to eat!

Peg Perego Aria Twin


With a 4 week old and a 24 month old I have been searching for the best double stroller. I am a fan of the side by side strollers just being they are easier to handle when walking. I tested this stroller out before I bought it and thought it was great but, once we got it out of the store and really started using it, it was a pain in the behind!

Pros:
The stroller is very light weight. It seems to weight less than the Pliko P3. Large storage area. Lastly the seats recline for the newbies.

Cons:
I decided to take this stroller to the mall which was great until I went into the stores. Once inside I could hardly maneuver the stroller in the narrow aisle let alone get it back out the doors. What good is a stroller when it takes you 5 extra minutes to leave a store? I would say this stroller is only great for walking outside. Also the stroller itself seems to be flimsy after you use it a couple of times. I am overall not impressed and wish I could return it.

The Peg Perego Aria Twin Is NOT worth the $350 plus tax price tag!

Ergo Carrier


Have you searched high and low for that perfect carrier? Look no further as the Ergo Carrier is great for mothers of all shapes and sizes! I have tried many carriers and can not stand to be in them longer that a few hours but, with my Ergo I can wear it day in and day out with my 29 pound 2 year old in tow.


Pros:

This carrier can be worn in 3 different ways: hip, front, and back. I prefer the front so my daughter can cuddle with my. However on those long walks the back is great and when she gets sleepy there is a hood so her head does not flop around. Another great thing about this carrier is no matter if your petite or plus size this carrier will fit you since there is a waist extension. I am a plus size mommy and let me tell you this carrier makes me feel slimmer. If your looking for a carrier that does not hurt your back this is it!


Cons:

Gosh it is hard to think of any negative thoughts on the Ergo Carrier! The only thing I wish is that there where more color choices. I am in love with Orange so please Ergo make me an orange carrier.
