Some women can. I actually tried - first with herbs and a ton of pumping, and then finally with prescription meds and a ton of pumping. But for most women, your breast tissue only changes to produce a full supply of milk after a full-term pregnancy. Without a fullterm pregnancy I was able to make some milk, and I'm…

I have an adopted 3 month old baby who has been completely breastmilk fed due to the kindness of strangers at Human Milk 4 Human Babies. I want my baby to have breastmilk. When I give him formula he spits up, he has gas, and he's missing all of the antibodies and antibacterial properties in breastmilk, not to mention…

When my friends become new moms or moms again to new babies, I skip gifts of rattles and sleep sheeps and pink onsies with Princess emblazoned on the ass, and deliver freshly made, hot, super healthy, super delicious dinners at 6:30.

The way it could go: everyone learns about community and family and what happens when one of us has unique situations; the whole class learns about allergies and we learn about who has 'em and what they're like, we study the science of allergies and learn allergy first aid and learn vocabulary like hypoallergenic. And…

I totally agree with you. There should be consequences, and warning people about him is the right thing to do. Trolls only act the way they do because they're doing it under the cover of anonymity. But their language is harmful - it drags down the discourse and allows a petri dish to breed hate and violence. He should…

That looked like FUN! Wait for me ladies, I'm coming in, too!!!!

I think it is completely hilarious and awesome that this song called Fuck You with "shit" in the lyrics in dozens of places has been given this muppets-and-Glee-and-feathers-(and don't forget that adorable sign language girl on youtube)-and-wholesome-fun spin. "Fuck You" is the happy feel-good uplifting song of the…

I love how he assumes he'll get married one day. I would never marry this guy. He's got cheating-asshole and inconsiderate-douchebag and will-not-be-good-to-me and selfish-lover written all over his blog.

I'm all one for shouting MALE PRIVILEGE!! but in this case, Charlie & Lindsay really aren't the same. People are mentioning a lot about how he's had a longer acting career... well, yes, but that only matters in as much as that gives him a long-time-fan-base who have seen him struggle with years of downs and ups. He…

I think you are being generous and gracious, Sara. In my experience, the final word of "safety" is often just a person in power's righteous way to domination and oppression. I've seen principals say that boys couldn't wear their pants low riding because of "safety" (you know, because they were going to fall down while…

@Diziet_Sma: skin scum from adolescent boys with no shirts and zitty backs laying on the couch in their boxers

@Nancy Sin: I second that. I had an obsession for eating ice and went purposely to specific restaurants because their ice was the right size, shape, or strength. I was an ice connoisseur. I thought it was a delightful eccentricity about me. Then they discovered I was really anemic, and in two months on iron I…

Eating the cushions is eccentric.

Y'all I'm so sorry; it's so embarrassing when granpa Linbaugh gets all high on his vicodin and says crazy mean shit.

This just in:

There were totally 99 girls in my high school in Tennessee that got pregnant. The difference is that they all got abortions. They didn't have to 'learn how to say no', they had to find several hundred dollars, a car, a friend, and and a forged absent note. This isn't about abstinence and it's so absurd that people…

@amowls: That's my understanding, too. A baby is only a dream-killer if you want to go away (i.e. college) and live on your own, which would be relatively incompatible with parenting. If you're staying in your community and you have even a little bit of support from family and friends, and your family has enough money…

Oh, because this would have been unreasonable:

I broke off a waning long-distance relationship with a really nice guy when I first met Mr. Clementine Tangerine. I hadn't cheated at all. I told him "If there are guys in the world that make me feel like he does, then we need to break up. We both deserve that." I was right, even though it sucked more for him than me…

I tend to think it's better to be kind than right.
