Bad Mommy

I was a bad mommy today. All because I wanted to take the perfect picture for this blog. So I really blame the blog for this event. Well, I blame the blog and I blame it on this.

What the heck is that? It's a pillow. I blame the pillow. It all started with my new toy that I LOVE. It's called "My Breast Friend" pictured above. And it truly is my new friend. It's a breast feeding pillow that I bought yesterday. I have been using a pillow called the boppy for a while and it just never felt right. Emmett would never be positioned correctly to feed and this would cause my boobs to hurt. It got to the point where I wanted to give up breast feeding! But then I found this.


So I have been using it since last night and I love it! Emmett loves it too. So much that after a feeding he passes out on it. And it's pretty hard to feed a baby when he looks like this.


I thought it was kind of cute how he totally passed out before he finished eating. So I reached for the camera and took some pictures. Of course I wanted the perfect picture so I took a few with different angles.
At one point I leaned over to try and get his arm in the picture when he ROLLED off the pillow. It happened so fast and yet it felt like it was slow motion. I tried to catch him but he just slid right off. Thankfully I was sitting on the floor and didn't have far to fall. The crazy part is that he landed with a soft thud and stayed asleep! He didn't even make a sound.


He looked so happy and content on the floor that I didn't want to move him. But babies are suppose to sleep on their backs. Darn it!! Should I risk waking him up and move him? Or should I sit there and stare at him to make sure he's okay?

I decided to move him cause I didn't know how long he was going to sleep and I didn't want to just sit there and stare at him. So I moved him to the carseat (his new napping spot).

I learned my lesson for sure. Pictures must be taken with one hand on the baby.

Im happy to hear your comments on the boppy...it has been my "go to" gift at baby showers because I was told it was awesome. Now I know ...its not that great afterall. Whoops! I will have to put this new one on my list for future gift giving.

I've said it before but it bears repeating: Emmett is so freaking CUTE!

I'm with you on MBF vs. Boppy. I only used MBF for feeding, but I found the Boppy quite useful for baby containment/lounging/propping up, though! :-)
