Have you ever felt like the baby is just throwing up SO MUCH hard won breastmilk? Take a look at how much it actually is.
Sara posted this on our facebook page, but I had to share it on here. It gives great perspective.

New Meeting Time
We are making changes to our monthly meetings. We will no longer be holding evening meetings. The meeting will still be held on the second Wednesday of every month, but now they will be a morning meeting, from 11:00am - 12:00pm.
Through the end of 2012, they will be held at Becca's home, in Rigby. We are hoping that this will be a change that will work for all of you. You can find directions on our Meetings page.
Our next meeting will be on October 10th at 11:00am. Our Topic will be The Breastfeeding Family: Adjusting to a New Baby at Home.
As always we welcome all breastfeeding, soon to be breastfeeding mothers and children. A snack to share would be welcome. Of course we will address any questions or concerns you may have that don't stick our topic, and tailor our meeting to topics that are needed most.
We hope to see you there.

Newborn Tummy Sizes
There's a lot of worry among many women that they should supplement because their newborn isn't getting "enough" milk. Here is a visual on just how big a newborn tummy is at 1 day, 3 days, and 1 week:
That's amazing, isn't it? A marble, a shooter marble, a ping pong ball represent just how little baby needs at first. They literally only need drops in the first few days. How many have seen women giving 4-6 ounce bottles in the first few weeks... and then see them spit it up? Now you know why. They simply don't need a lot.
As a comparison, here's another visual on tummy sizes:
