That's one reason your breasts get so much bigger during pregnancy – your milk ducts and milk-producing cells are developing, and more blood goes to your breasts than before. (Learn more about <a href="http://www.babycenter.com/0_making-breast-milk-how-your-body-produces-natures-perfect-ba_8785.bc" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 142, 170);" target="_blank">how your breasts produce milk</a>.)</p><p>But breast size has nothing to do with your ability to nurse successfully: For example, it's not true that smaller-breasted women <a href="http://www.babycenter.com/404_is-it-true-that-small-breasted-moms-produce-less-milk_10310185.bc" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 142, 170);" target="_blank">make less breast milk</a>.</p><p><strong>Do I need to toughen my nipples?</strong></p><p>No, says Kathleen Huggins, author of<em>The Nursing Mother's Companion</em>. The hormonal changes pregnancy brings to your breasts are sufficient preparation for most women. Don't rub or scrub your nipples – this will only hurt you and make breastfeeding difficult. Teaching your baby the <a href="http://www.babycenter.com/0_how-to-breastfeed-a-visual-guide_1439783.bc" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 142, 170);" target="_blank">right way to latch on to your breast</a> from the beginning is the most effective way to prevent soreness.</p><p><strong>What products should I buy?</strong></p><p>These products aren't required, by any means, but they can make breastfeeding more comfortable and convenient: </p><p><strong>Nursing bras: </strong>These bras are comfortable and provide the extra support your larger-than-usual breasts need. They come with flaps that you can easily undo at feeding time.</p><p>You may want to wait until the last weeks of pregnancy to shop for nursing bras, when your breasts will be closest to their postpartum size. That said, once your milk comes in your breasts will be bigger. They may even grow another size or two! So keep that in mind when buying nursing bras, and when shopping in person look for a salesperson who's knowledgeable about fitting. (You can wait until after you give birth to make this purchase, but in the early days after delivery you probably won't have the time or energy to go bra shopping.)</p><p><strong>Nursing tops and camisoles:</strong> These tops have convenient flaps that allow you to breastfeed easily and discreetly. Some of the camisoles are very supportive and can function as a bra and top in one.</p><p><strong>Nursing pillows:</strong> Specially designed to support your baby while you're nursing, these can help you avoid straining your shoulders or neck during feeding sessions. They're more convenient – and better at keeping your baby in position – than regular pillows.</p><p><strong>Breast pads:</strong> It's normal for your breasts to leak while you're nursing. Another baby's cry or the sight of an infant can also bring on a gush of milk when you least expect it. Disposable breast pads (or reusable, washable ones) will keep you and your shirts nice and dry.</p><p><strong>A breast pump:</strong> Even if you're not planning to pump regularly, a breast pump can be a useful tool – to help relieve engorgement, for example.

And hot/cold gel packs, which fit inside your bra, can soothe swollen or sore breasts.</p></div><div id="ecxfooter" style="display: block; min-height: 175px; background-color: rgb(242, 249, 250); border-top: 2px solid rgb(198, 229, 236);"><p>All contents copyright © BabyCenter LLC 1997-<span class="ecxcurrentYear">2010</span> all rights reserved.

Parents can spray the air before changing a diaper to keep odors at bay. The spray may also be used on baby’s bottom after a diaper change to moisturize and protect delicate skin. “There is nothing worse than the<br />smell after a diaper change. This is a product parents can appreciate,” stated co-‐founder, Travis<br />Mackay.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Little Stinker Natural Nursing Balm</span> is formulated from Shea, cocoa and mango, with olive<br />and rice bran oils to keep nipples soft, healthy and supple during breastfeeding. Balm may be applied liberally after each feeding and does not have to be washed off before nursing. "Breastfeeding is so important to many moms and the ideal way to feed your baby, but nobody really talks about how painful it can be.” Kathy Dalton shared. “With Little Stinker Natural Nursing Balm, we help soothe and calm those sensitive areas with all natural botanicals.”<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Little Stinker Cooling</span> Breast Cream helps ease the pain and discomfort of breast engorgement by quickly soothing and cooling breast tissue.

When used in conjunction with a cool compress, refrigerated Little Stinker™ Cooling Breast Cream will provide additional cooling benefits.</span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you are not breast-feeding, avoid stimulating the nipples and do not apply heat to the breasts – unless it is only to help soften the areola.<span style=""> </span>Heating of the breast may make the condition worse. </span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The application of fresh cabbage leaves to the breast has been used traditionally to help relieve discomfort associated with breast engorgement.<span style=""> </span>To do this, strip the main vein from two large, outer leaves and cut a hole in each one for your nipple.<span style=""> </span>Rinse and dry them before placing them on your breasts or into the cups of your bra.<span style=""> </span>As an alternative, the Little Stinker Cooling Breast Cream has been formulated with a high concentration of cabbage leaf extract, which can be gently massaged into each breast.<span style=""> </span></span></li></ul> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></p> <p></p>Little Stinker™http://www.blogger.com/profile/05350671062385509081noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034278671991844698.post-3760569940486658752010-10-09T15:16:00.003-06:002010-10-09T15:18:48.404-06:00Check out our booth at the ABC Kids Show<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUwFtW-8SEYBUiLywXu6ANDpoRq4LNIPhI7kt5YCxE4CIEkrS8HZT15Oj0kOJuBSEgL4_X4b8wQX3I7nwFEowS_BSTXXAnTyYCoUUz0kI505MkuGRhW6CBkjNRRjDEhcnrXkibXOj62TQ/s1600/image%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUwFtW-8SEYBUiLywXu6ANDpoRq4LNIPhI7kt5YCxE4CIEkrS8HZT15Oj0kOJuBSEgL4_X4b8wQX3I7nwFEowS_BSTXXAnTyYCoUUz0kI505MkuGRhW6CBkjNRRjDEhcnrXkibXOj62TQ/s400/image%5B1%5D.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526158476787194338" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Here's a quick shot of our booth at the <a href="http://www.theabcshow.com/">ABC Kids Expo</a> #4927Little Stinker™http://www.blogger.com/profile/05350671062385509081noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034278671991844698.post-83788742500441640812010-10-09T12:36:00.005-06:002010-10-09T12:44:51.910-06:00ABC Kids Expo - Little Stinker to exhibit<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4cQ4j5IXIzfF-w_l02fcuuI4GAAIzEUchmF0t4zzNzPAavN_-S8V_1kTnS9pEAMiSPO0YtmKB9zaHyM1s5fsVTpHAaFF9snPSmHPVeRrKo1TTD5ko_2698-nUN83dCWUss4PGEzEyMH0/s1600/abc_kids_expo_logo.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 292px; height: 102px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4cQ4j5IXIzfF-w_l02fcuuI4GAAIzEUchmF0t4zzNzPAavN_-S8V_1kTnS9pEAMiSPO0YtmKB9zaHyM1s5fsVTpHAaFF9snPSmHPVeRrKo1TTD5ko_2698-nUN83dCWUss4PGEzEyMH0/s400/abc_kids_expo_logo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526117684183323666" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The moment is here that we have prepared for over a year and a half for.

One of the key benefits of the balm is there is no need to wash or wipe off before the next feeding, which avoids unnecessary irritation.<br /><br />"We are taking the 'un' out of 'unpleasant,'" said Kathy Dalton, Chief Marketing Officer of The Blueberry Project. "Breastfeeding is so important to many moms and the ideal way to feed your baby, but nobody really talks about how painful it can be. With Little Stinker Natural Nursing Balm, we help soothe and calm those sensitive areas with all natural botanicals, such as shea, cocoa, and mango butters."<br /><br />Three Salt Lake City parents who wanted to provide baby and mommy-care products that were both safe and effective founded The Blueberry Project.<br /><br />“Lets face it, kids are hard,” said Brick Despain, Chief Executive Officer of The Blueberry Project. “But they are totally worth it. We want to give parents products that allow them to focus on how cool their kids are rather than the pains and smells of parenthood.”<br /><br />On a mission to make your child rearing experience more pleasant, The Blueberry Project developed the Little Stinker Natural Nursing Balm with ingredients that are both natural and completely edible, so you know your child is in good hands.

Don't get me wrong. I love the summer. I love being outside playing with my boys. But the end of July means that summer is quickly coming to an end. Soon the boys will be back at school and sometimes the heat really gets me down because it's TOO hot to play outside with the kids. Not to mention its time to start getting organized and begin the lovely task of "Back to School" shopping<br /><br />So to cheer me up a bit and to help out with your organizational needs, we at Little Stinker have decided to hold a most awesome contest. Here's how it goes.<br /><br /><strong>Contest Entries:</strong>1.) Place an order for your bottle of Little Stinker Baby Butt Spray in the next four weeks and you will be entered in a chance to win either an iPod touch or an Apple Gift certificate of equal value (in case you've had your eye on that new iPhone 4 . . . I know I have . . .). Easy right? But it gets better.<br /><br />2.) You will get an entry for every bottle you order- not per transaction. 10 bottles = 10 entries. But wait. There's more!<br /><br />3.) Followers of the blog get an extra entry into the contest. But wait. There's still more! :D<br /><br />4.) Blog posts, tweets, facebook status updates that help promote the contest to your friends will get you another bonus entry. . . in fact, we'll even give you a bonus entry for each! Just post a comment here with links to show what you did. That gives you a chance of being entered at least 5 times for one bottle of Baby Butt Spray.<br /><br />Ok. You can stop waiting now. Go! Buy! Share! Have fun!<br /><br /><strong>The Details:</strong><br />Purchase of the Little Stinker Baby Butt spray qualifies you as a contest entrant. All other entries are additional entries. Contest entries will be accepted from today, July 26th until midnight MST August 23rd. The prize is your choice of a new iPod Touch or an Apple gift certificate of equal value that can be used for an Apple product-- but I highly recommend an iPhone if you don't go for the iPod. It's like my second brain! Each entry will be assigned a number and winners will be chosen by the Random.org number generator. Winners will be announced August 24th here on the blog.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">*Update 8-6-10*</span> </span>With the release of our latest product--<a href="http://www.littlestinkerusa.com/NursingBalm.html">Little Stinker Natural Nursing Balm</a>--on August 6th, purchases of the Nursing Balm will also count toward a contest entry. So, yippee! More chances to win! :D<br /><br />-BrickLittle Stinker™http://www.blogger.com/profile/05350671062385509081noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034278671991844698.post-33386568287254614602010-07-16T15:03:00.000-06:002010-07-16T15:03:00.560-06:00Croc Sneakers<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqxMsTE5fBE_W2EjreK698-9esK8mozlFeJipv6YU2Dg-gykLaY6UDw-kkf6n9zq4FmZklHGTHI3xgoO-D6SVb7hz3DJ0ulYwvGbv45ZZji2qtH26hGYyDPxFATdWKUdBPk3129UjPrJM/s1600/11063_side_485.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 597px; height: 371px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqxMsTE5fBE_W2EjreK698-9esK8mozlFeJipv6YU2Dg-gykLaY6UDw-kkf6n9zq4FmZklHGTHI3xgoO-D6SVb7hz3DJ0ulYwvGbv45ZZji2qtH26hGYyDPxFATdWKUdBPk3129UjPrJM/s320/11063_side_485.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494241587195576674" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.crocs.com/crocs-crocband-sneak-kids/11063,default,pd.html?cid=485&cgid=boys-footwear&siteID=ee1KGl9l.s4-ALbJLr9W1T59Z0OT3oHJNg">Crocs just came out with a sneaker </a>!
