The Beginning

I am so excited to create this blog to share with other nursing moms how God is encouraging me, and what He is wanting me to encourage you with.  Every few days I am will create a devotion that will bring God's Word into context with the daily struggles and triumphs we go through in nursing our little ones.  Practical advice, information from experts, and links to resources will be added in; and I will try to share some of my experiences as well.  I have two beautiful daughters...Tessa, 4 1/2 (the 1/2 is so important to her), and Gillian, 8 months.  I was only able to nurse Tessa for 3 weeks before we realized she had MSPI (milk and soy protein intolerance).  For the rest of her infancy she was on very expensive formula.  While I was pregnant with Gillian, a lactation consultant gave me priceless advice and information, and by the grace of God I have been able to exclusively breastfeed Gillian, even though she has had MSPI also.  I have gone through many ups and downs with nursing along with trying to stay on top of everything else happening in my life. God truly is my source of energy and sanity.  I hope I can give you verses, Spirit-led words of encouragement, and some practical advice to help you enjoy the fabulous opportunity to breastfeed your precious little one.  I look forward to going on the journey with you!
