Breastfeeding contracts: Have we gone too far?
“Do you want to try breastfeeding your son?” the recovery room nurse asked me. Nauseated and wobbly-armed after my epidural and unplanned C-section, breastfeeding was both the first and last thing on my mind. I’d obsessed over breastfeeding during my entire pregnancy, feeling pressure from the prenatal instructor who regaled us with tales of tandem nursing her twins. I figured I knew all there was to know about breastfeeding—everything except that it can be really hard.
While in hospital with Isaac, I worked hard at breastfeeding—but my sleepy-head son would fall asleep each time I’d get him latched. The hospital’s lactation consultants were helpful and persistent, but those early days of breastfeeding were painful and messy. Shortly after we were able to go home, my husband bought me a manual breast pump because, in those early days of parenthood, we were less about romance and more about survival.

Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard's families are reacting to the newlyweds' exciting pregnancy news!
"There is a lot of joy," Jill's mom, Michelle Duggar, gushed to People.

Although Jill and Derick only announced they are expecting their first child this week, Jill has been battling bouts of morning sickness for some time now.
"I have said to Jill, 'When you feel sick and so tired, remember you are growing another person inside of you and this is a good reason to be sick,'" Michelle dished. "For me, I would try to sit down and rest whenever I was sick while pregnant. You have to do what you have to do. The end result is so worth it."

"I am up for babysitting if they need help," Jill's younger brother Jedidiah said. "I am so excited for Jill and Derick and I know they are going to make wonderful parents.

“There is trouble in paradise,” Cannon told The Insider With Yahoo on Thursday. “We have been living in separate houses for a few months.”

“My main focus is my kids,” he added, referring to the separated couple's three-year-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan.
