Breastfeeding pic gets more hate than Kim's butt.

Actress Allysa Milano had her baby girl Elizabella Dylan Bulgari last September. She's very proud of her baby girl and posted a phote of her breastfeeding her on instagram.
Bur the pictures of Kim Kardashians naked body "break the internet" are also a big hit on the internet.
Milano noted that she wears a shirt on her selfie and she gets a ton of backlash while critics seems fine by Kim's oily naked booty.

She tweeted:

I think it's weird that when people put a naked "sexy" photo of them selfs on the internet is all ok. And while you are breastfeeding your baby. What is the most natural and beautifull thing there is is all bad and should not be shown on the internet.

No offence about Kim's picture but if that's beautifull so is breastfeeding your own child. 

What do you think?
Can you show breastfeeding pictures on the internet or is it a no go?

Breastfeeding week.


This last week was the week to stand still off breastfeeding.
And well let me say right away I breasfeed my babygirl!!!
I am a real supporter of breastfeeding.
And now I want to share my story why I breastfeed, how it started, the struggles.

Breastfeeding is the best nutrition for your baby. Breast milk contains exactly the nutrients your child needs and also protects against diseases and infections. Also, breastfeeding have benefits for the mother. For example, breast-feeding makes it easier to get back to your normal weight.
A baby has the most benefit when they get at least 6 months of breastfeeding, but  every week counts.
So it's a reason to try it and every day or every drop of breastfeeding your baby gets counts. But I will tell you more about this in another blog soon.

Your baby also get's to know more different flavours so they will used more easly to solid food.

If your baby has a sore eye, you only need 1drup of breast milk in her eye and it will go away!

I think it's a beautifull thing of mother nature that your own body can make the food for your baby.
So boobies are not only a sex object ;) they are food sources for your child. That's why I think it's stupid that mothers can't place pictures of her with her child while breastfeeding, but social media accept woman half naked and that's ok?! Don't get it...
And wen you breastfeed in public how people can react? So stupid sometimes, it's just such beautifull thing of nature.


My story of breastfeeding is a little short.... Because I was to damn lucky how it started and goes. And I've got great support in the hospital. 
I've made milk right away that was my luck. I was so happy!
But it was a struggle to let my baby girl drink from my breast. She did not know how it worked and when she finally got it she fell a sleep. We must tickle her in her neck undet her feet to get her drinking. 
Because she was 4weeks to early she also got formula milk through fingerfeeding.
In one day she loosed to many weight so she gets more through fingerfeeding from 15cc to 25cc to 30cc. But you she spit everything out. If she kept on doing that they would place her to the child care. So first she must drink from my breast after that she got filled up with formula milk or expressed milk. I had to keep pumping to keep everything in motion. 
After 3days she started to eat normal and only from my breast! Even till 100cc!!!
After 4days laying in the hospital we finally can go back to our home.
We had a huge sweet maternity nurse.
She helpt me during breastfeeding and everything went great. I'm still thankfull for her help!!! We had a laugh when my boobs are so big because of the trim. My nursing bra did not fit anymore. So we stuck the breast pads with skin tape on my breasts! 

Now 3months later I still breastfeed my baby girl!
I know lot of struggles specially at night. Sometimes she wants to drink every hour.
I am often exhausted but it's all worth it.
After 2weeks I had a breast infection with a high fever. But it did not stop me off breastfeeding.
But I can not complain some woman can not breastfeed their baby. Or they have a lot of pain doing it. I'm lucky I don't have those problems.

Breastfeed my baby girl is a special moment of our both. I enjoy and love to do that! It's our bonding time.
And she grows 200 to 300grams per week off it!
From the clinic I can not quit because she grow so well!

My goal is to breastfeed my baby girl at least till she is 6months old!
I hope my body and mind can handle it till at least 6months. And I hope longer!!!

Do you breastfeed?

Getting back in shape


I've getting lot of questions why I look so "good"after giving birth.
Well I've got lucky I guess.
I've worked out my whole life (swim, fitness, running, kickboxing) so my abs are pretty hard when I was pregnant. I used to work out 4 till 5 times a week or more. I've used supplements from gymfood and I ate healthy as possible. But I must stop working out when I was pregnant.
I've got a very tiny belly during pregnancy. At 36 weeks people thought I was just 20 weeks.That's why I had so much pain during my pregnancy. I may not work out because of the pain and bleedings.
But instead of working out I ate healthy as possible. With a cheatmeal now and then ;). I've used special vitamins for pregnant woman and folic acid pills. 

When my baby girl was born I was back to my normal weight again.
I gained less then 10 kilo's during my pregnancy. 
So I must say I was very lucky.
My advice: Don't eat for two!!! Eat healthy, eat a varied diet and if you can work out!
Take special vitamins and folic acid pills for pregnant woman!

But now I'm almost 12 weeks further and now what?!
On the one hand I'm happy with my body that I don't have to loose more weight. I am happy with who I am now.
But on the other hand I want my toned body back!
In November we're going on vacation for the first time with my baby girl. And let's say I want to feel good...
I'm breast feeding my little girl  and it seems that you burn 500 calories more per day.
Well that's some positive news. But I don't want to loose weight I want to get toned!
I know I may not go on a diet because I breastfeed and this is NOT what I want to do.
From now on I will blog about my journey to get my toned body back.
Maybe I will not have it in November. But someday I will have my own old trusted body.
But I feel better when I work out and that's the most important reason!
I've want to run ones in a week. I started last Sunday, I've ran 3,42 km in: 26:56 minutes.
It's not that fast but my last run was in June 2013! So I'm proud of myself.
I've stared a couple of weeks ago with sit ups and I've take my weights from the basement and started to use them for my arms and abs work out.
I will do some exersices every day from now on!
But only some work outs does not mean you get your abs back!
I will start to eat more healthy then I allready did.
I will not eat less. I will eat more, spread on a day.
So I make sure my little one get enough also. I still take my vitamins for pregnant woman every day.
I'm NOT using extra supplements because of breastfeeding. I don't know if it's harmful to use them during breastfeeding. But I ate 6 eggs a week. (boiled or baked)
I make sure I get my veggies every day!
My favourites are baked bimi with spinach and some garlic.
And make sure you eat your fruits!!!
So I'm guessing I will post more recipes and more exersices to help you guys!

But the most important thing is be happy with youself! You are beautifull just the way you are...
