You should! I think Bed Bath and Beyond has it for the cheapest, especially if you use that 20% discount they're always sending people in the mail. I think you can even print it out from online.

It's freaking amazing. I used to buy overpriced seltzer or sparkling water or club soda or whatever they called it, and it would lose its fizz in three seconds.

I'm telling you now to stop nursing. I promise you, a lot of this is seriously your hormones while you're nursing, which tells you to KEEP DOING IT KEEP GOING FEED FEED. When I stopped nursing after exclusively pumping, I cried and cried, and it felt so wrong in so many ways, but a month or two later and I'm like,…

My friend just had a baby at 29 weeks. How is your baby doing? My friend is very nervous about the future.

This was freaking hilarious. HILARIOUS. I especially loved:

Formula is just as good. After six weeks, there is no data published in peer-reviewed journals that indicates that formula is any worse after then (unless you live in an area without access to good water supplies, medical care, or you're so poor you decided watering down your formula is a good idea - except that kind…

I've gone through this. Exactly this.

But didn't they do studies where pumping both boobs was supposed to get more milk? I also had let down in the other boob when one was being milked, by either pump or child, so I was happy to collect those precious, precious, precious (MY PRECIOUS) drops with the double pump.

There are two Tracie's doing motherhood articles on this site, btw. Tracy Moore and Tracie Egan Morrissey. Confusing, eh?

I also had to pump exclusively for my last two, each for six months (until I gave up). I like the freedom of it all, and I liked not being stuck with an infant up in my room while everyone else has fun and goes out and does things. I did it, though, because I have low supply, and so supplementing with formula hurt…

I didn't get it, actually. And I live in LA. And all my friends have a billion babies. It just depends on the community you're in.

It's amazing how many sanctimonious people you meet when you become a parent. I was walking with my infant down the street in a stroller, and one person PULLED UP IN HER CAR, got out of her car, all to tell me that the exhaust from the cars was bad for my baby and I shouldn't have him out in public.

The commentariat here is a judging bunch, full of rage at their keyboard.

I used pumps exclusively for six months, and let me tell you, it dries you up. It's not really as good as a baby nursing from you, and even though it was my lifesaver, I wouldn't recommend ANYONE go the pumping route for breastfeeding. If you can breastfeed, great. If you can't, give a formula bottle. But paying…

And greater shelf lives have improved conditions for a lot of people.

I used to drink tons of soda. I hate the diet sodas, because the taste of chemical sugars is like nails on a chalkboard for me. Recently, I realized that I can't stand water because I miss all the carbonation. So I bought the sodastream, I pour a cup of water and add maybe 1/4 to 1/8 of a cup of grape juice or…

I've never seen this, and this is FREAKING HILARIOUS.

Why DID Rio have purple hair? So many questions.

No, you're wrong. It's not the PARENTS' fault. It's the MOTHER'S fault. Duh. Just because the father disappears with a new wife and a new life, and for all intents and purposes was completely absent from his kids growing up, that means NOTHING.

Actually, a lot of people feel that the mother in that book is also to blame for her kid.
