a delicious way to increase breastmilk supply

March 6, 2012

malteser cake recipe

I learned something interesting from a lactation consultant recently. Did you know that eating Whoppers can help increase your milk supply?

Don’t hop in the car and drive to Burger King just yet. It’s actually the malt in candy Whoppers that supposedly improves lactation, which would make this layer cake not only delicious, but beneficial for nursing moms. Other lactogenic foods? Barley and oatmeal.

Have you changed your diet or added supplements to increase your breastmilk supply?

PS: Did you know that these exist? I want to try them!

getting into position + friday favorites

naked baby in crib

Levi’s nanny reported yesterday that he was bending one of his legs underneath himself, and then I saw him doing the same thing later in the evening. He almost got himself up on all…threes. Well, it’s a start! Does this mean that crawling is around the corner? If so, I know what JB and I will be doing this weekend. It’s time to start baby-proofing the house! But where do we begin?

How about with some of my favorite links from around the web!

I love these London 2012 posters for a kid’s room, especially this one (via YAMF)

Abby wrote a lovely and reassuring post for new moms afraid they’re doing “it” wrong.

A funny post about celebrity sightings.

I love Gwyneth’s style.

The best – or worst? – of Pinterest. (You can find me over there, too!)

Lady Gaga creates The Born This Way Foundation

I’m still trying to learn how to balance my work and personal life, how about you?

I’ll be reading this over the weekend

Finally, a bit of self-promotion:
Bunny & Dolly is nominated for The Homies 2012 Best Family Blog award. I don’t even care if I win; simply having your support would make me a very happy blogger. Would you kindly cast your vote over on Apartment Therapy? PS, you’ll have to create an account first.

Have a wonderful weekend, friends!

february via my iphone camera

March 1, 2012

Remember last month when I complained that 2012 was passing too quickly? Well, thank goodness it is because February was not a very fun month, and I’m quite ready for a fresh start in March. And spring! And my birthday!

So maybe I’m still just as stressed out as I was yesterday, but I’m hoping that the new month brings with it a new perspective. And if not, at least I can drown my sorrows in a Shamrock Shake.

Here are a bunch of photos I took on my iPhone and shared on Instagram in February. If you use Instagram, leave your username in the comments so I can follow you! And please look me up — @pjfeinstein. You can also follow my photo feed here if you don’t have an iPhone or the Instagram app.

Day 12 | No photos from today (well none worth sharing) because I sat in front of my laptop from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. working on deadline. My busy work day also meant that my kids didnt get very much of my attention. My husband kept them occupied for some of the day but I dont think they got any schoolwork done. Oh well we all deserve a lazy day every once in a while. I know I do! | So whats this photo? Just some of the amazing birthday presents I received from my friends this weekend! (Dont worrDay 11 | Emotions have been running high the past two days and everyone has a short fuse. Asa had a full-on temper tantrum because he didnt want to color his drawing of a rainbow and nearly lost his cool while practicing Typing Club. I wish I could do more educational activities with them like taking alphabet walks and tallying up different items around the house but Im totally overwhelmed with a huge deadline this week. In fact I had to keep working after the kids went to bed and now its nearlyC-Quarantine Day 8 | Ive felt anxious many days this past week but today was the first day I had the blues. Not sad about anything specific. Just ... sad. Cabin fever? Exhaustion? We decided to get out of the house to look at the cherry blossoms in Bethesda. The Kenwood neighborhood was quiet so we parked and walked down a side street keeping our distance from the few other people out and about. But with cars parked on one side of the road and moving cars to trying to pass them & the pedestriansOn the first day of #socialdistancing my true love made for me Nutella-filled croissantsyummy!  On the second day of social distancing my true love made for me banana muffins with a crumb topping.  On the third day... Nope. Tomorrow we work from home/homeschool our kids so its cereal for everyone!  #onedaycv #covidquarantine
