Nursing Made Easier

I wish I knew that there was such a thing as nursing clothes when I had Eve. I was so narrow minded thinking that all there was available were stylish covers and blankets to feed your child. Which by the way are not my favorite ways to nurse a baby. Some people love them and swear by them but for the child I had it was absolutely ridiculous. If you have a wild ferocious eater like mine and hates to be covered you might want to try the following: (which by the way I really wish I knew before hand that there was such a thing)

Nursing Tanks- You could place a blouse, shirt, top whatever over the nursing tank like an extra layer and nurse without showing your midriff etc.

Nursing shirts-Comes with a built in layer to cover everything

Nursing dresses-You don't have to hike up your whole dress at church just to nurse

Cut slits in shirt-If you don't have the money to buy extra clothes cut slits in a shirt that you normally layer anyway and just put another shirt over it.

Belly Bans-You know those bans used for extra support when you're pregnant you could also use them for nursing. Just pull them up so they can cover your midriff etc. Also long tube tops can be used as well underneath a top.

Nursing Garments- They do exist!

These are some places that they sale Nursing tanks, shirts, dresses etc.

The Cheapest long nursing tank's I found was online at Walmart. You can get a black & a white one for 19 dollars. Which comes out to about 9.50 for each tank. Great deal if you ask me. If any of you have additional information PLEASE share:) Hope this was helpful.

Juanita's Conversion Story

I feel that Heavenly Father has blessed me with the desire to play softball. The fact that the Lord was guiding me to play softball became more evident to me when I was offered a scholarship to play ball at BYU-Hawaii. The thought of attending BYU-Hawaii just seemed right and good at the time so I attended college there. My first year in college I was so excited to learn, play, and party. I discovered real soon that the students who attended the university had fun without drinking. I also discovered that the people were faithful and they had a strong sense of purpose and Identity. This compelled me to go on a spiritual search. I decided to take the lessons from the missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As I took the lessons I was taught things that I heard before and things that were new to me. Such as the Book of Mormon and the prophet Joseph Smith. These were things that were a challenge for me to believe. So I took these challenges up to the Lord and I asked him if the Book of Mormon is the word of God and if Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God. I'm so delighted to share with you that I do know that the Book of Mormon is true and that the Prophet Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God. I know that it's true because of the power of the Holy Spirit, because of these truths and much more I decided to be baptized and serve the Lord. Getting baptized was the best decision I ever made. It's because of this choice that I enjoy the blessing of life today. The church is true and I find myself indebt to the Lord forever.
