Getting your baby accustomed to eating solid foods can be a bit of a challenge, not to mention a bit of a mess! It's almost as if the sound of a food jar opening immediately sets off a signal in a baby's brain that pureed chicken is on its way to the high chair, which makes him/her instinctively push the spoon out of the way so that the mashed chicken winds up in mom's hair.

Not that you can blame junior for refusing to eat something that really isn't meant to be in the form of mush. Have you ever smelled a jar of that stuff? Gross!

It's a bird, it's a plane, wait, no -- it's a boob! People who live in or around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania may soon find themselves questioning whether or not they really just saw a pink and blue striped truck with a gigantic boob on top of it pass by them. For the record, the truck actually exists.

The "Milk Truck" is the brain child of a staff member at Carnegie Mellon University named Jill Miller. It's basically a mobile breastfeeding unit, which aims to be a safe and clean place where nursing moms can go to feed their babies without worrying about getting looks of disgust or eye rolls in public from people who don't understand that infants are small human beings who need to eat just as much as they do.

I'm a little disenchanted with nurse-ins. I have to be honest here. I just fear that they aren't serving their purpose -- to gain acceptance of public breastfeeding by the general public. They end up becoming a great gathering of women who bond but the passersby who aren't accepting of it continue to look with disgust. (Silly people, don't they know breasts are for babies?) Still, I feel like the 'Million Boob March,' aka The Great Nurse-In currently being planned for August in Washington, DC, could make a change. A big change. But only if First Lady Michelle Obama and/or the President gets involved. Someone. Anyone in Washington with some power.

If there are 500,000 women breastfeeding their children on the West Lawn at the Capitol, perhaps they will take notice. How could they not? Which is why we all should get involved.

This past weekend, our 6-month-old babies finally got their first taste of solid food: delicious, nutritious pureed squash. Yummy! I mean, the stuff was goopy and stinky and reminded me of ... well, baby food, but the little guys dribbled and blibbled and slurped it right up!

Leading up to this first feeding, I'd read and heard several different opinions on what foods to start with, when to start them on solids, how to introduce new foods, and on and on. I think some advice is universal: start them anywhere from 4 to 6 months, introduce new foods in the morning, don't introduce another food until they've been on the previous for 3-4 days, and don't force it on them. Also, food at this age is not a supplement for their breast milk or formula, so you need to continue to give them the same amount of milk as always. I got a few other helpful hints though that I definitely think are worth putting into practice.

A new mom, who just so happens to be a comedienne, posted a video of herself breastfeeding on Funny Or Die. Ahna Tessler is seen breastfeeding her twins in a skit called Leah Got a Job. "Leah" seems like exactly the kind of person who would think breastfeeding is obscene. She's first pictured from the neck up and talks about hating kids even though she is an art teacher. She flips her hair, talks tough, and when the camera starts panning down, there are two babies at her breasts.

Funny Or Die isn't exactly the place I would expect to see a comedic breastfeeding video (with a lot of f-bombs, you've been warned), but that is precisely why I think it's fantastic that Tessler decided to write it into a script, film it, and post it. My husband and I both think it's funny. But Funny Or Die didn't think it was so they killed it, removed all Tessler's videos, and suspended her account. Watch it below.

When I tell strangers I have twins, sometimes their eyes get real wide and they give a look like oh my gosh how are you even still standing after going through that? How do you live? Twin mamas will back me up there. And if those people find out you are breastfeeding, then you become Mother Milk Goddess or totally insane. I'm a good balance of both, and accept praise and support whenever I can get it because it helps supply. Positive reinforcement = more ounces produced. At least that's what I believe. The less stress, the better.

Breastfeeding twins isn't always easy. But I know of no other way to breastfeed as I only have twins. So how do you survive breastfeeding twins? Like this ....

We've all had mommy fail moments. Come on, even you. It's because that despite our best efforts, we aren't perfect. Though our husbands don't have to know that. There are some of these moments that we all come out of unscathed, but some are downright dangerous and make you say, "My gosh what in the heck was I thinking?!" I'm sure this 30-year-old Swedish mom who thought that breastfeeding her 3-week-old baby while driving is realizing her mistake. This mommy fail moment caused her to get into a car accident, rear-ending a truck that was braking in front of her.

Her two older children were in car seats in the back, but her newborn was on her lap nursing as she crashed.

Whenever there is an article about breastfeeding, there are comments from moms about formula. Very negative comments. And vice versa. We have to all remember that words can be like daggers, especially to a new mom doing all she can to be the best mom she can be. I've said the phrase "breast is best," and while I do believe that to be true, it's not true all of the time. Maybe it's 100 percent true for you all the time, but not everyone is the same, not everyone has the same life, and we should all be mindful of those who do things differently than us. We should also realize that while some of the comments make it seem like formula feeding moms are lazy women who don't care about what goes into their baby's body (and that's just wrong), others are just commenting to encourage women to try breastfeeding.

The point is that It's not always what we say, it's how we say it. There are so many moms who have to formula feed their baby. And they are amazing mothers doing what is best.
