New Mommy Learning the Hard Way

Being a new mommy has taught me a lot. One thing is that I have a lot to learn. Second is that my friends and family have a lot of advice to give but don't always give the same advice. So I wanted to give you a place to go that will give you lots to think about and facts to back them up. Third is that there is a whole new world that I want to know about. Hope you like it.

Sprint has refused to help find a kidnapped infant

I'm not sure how you feel about your cell phone but I have a love-hate relationship with mine. I will admit as well that I have Sprint for my service. But after hearing about the little boy that was kidnapped and could have been found faster using his parents' Sprint cell phone, I will think twice when renewing my contract. Evidently, a couple in Eastvale, CA was loading up their 2 kids into their SUV. The father put the 10 month old baby in the car and went back to get the 3 yr old that was still inside. When they came out, the baby and SUV were gone. When the parents and police called Sprint to track his cell phone that was in the vehicle, they were denied GPS service to find the kidnapped baby. How WRONG is that!!! Sprint said they couldn't do anything until an application was filled out and a $25 check was received. I guess common sense can't be found with GPS either.

YMCA wants your business but not if you breastfeed

The YMCA in Ann Arbor, MI wsw a great swimming program for little ones. But if you have a littler one than that, don't even think about feeding her or him at swim lessons. I think I have heard about as much as I can stand on this subject. From people staring at me even when I cover up at a restaurant to a mom being asked not to feed her baby while her other child takes swim lessons. Why might you ask? She was covered and modest but no food or drink was alolowed in the pool area and they didn't want to make an exception. My question for them was what was the difference in her bringing her full breasts in the pool area vs. feeding her child. Either way, she is bringing food and drink in the area.
