Medela Giveaways @ The Baby Store Plus

Now I don't usually post about other people's giveaways, but I'm super excited about this one and hoping that I have a shot at winning!  The Baby Store Plus is having an awesome giveaway event for the month of September, called "Breastfeeding is Best for All Babies," where they are giving away several breastfeeding items - a Medela Pump in Style Breastpump, a Medela Giftset & Giftcard to the Baby Store Plus, as well as other accessories.  Now that baby number two is on its way, I'm starting to think about nursing and stuff we will need.  I encourage all you mommies and mommy-to-be's to enter the giveaways, because there are lots of ways to earn entries.  I have to tell you that I have won LOTS of stuff from entering blog giveaways.   I haven't entered any in a while, been too busy, but this is worth it!  Checkout this event at this link: The Baby Store Plus Breastfeeding Event

So part of entering is me telling you why I think that "Breastfeeding is Best for All Babies."  I am a little uncomfortable with saying, "all babies," because I have heard of lots of situations where it was best not to breastfeed. I am just thankful that the Lord gave me 9 months of nursing Calla.  It was not easy.  Especially the first month.  We struggled.  I cried.  A lot.  Calla had to be supplemented.  But with a supporting husband and Mom and church friends, Calla and I were able to figure it out.  I think it was best for us, primarily for the special Mommy/Baby time we got together, as it was a role that only I could fill, and I think I really got to know Calla during those months.  Also, the cost - it's free!  When I finally had to start giving her formula, it was about $75 a month or so, depending on coupons.  Calla never got sick while nursing - I'm sure from the benefit of my immunities.  I have friends who couldn't breastfeed and spend every few hours hooked up to a pump.  Not fun. But I admire their resolve!   I hope that with the new little baby, I can have a good pump, so that even if I can't nurse, my baby can still benefit!
