#LeakyLooks: Milk-friendly Fashion For All Moms!

Back-To-School Fun!
It’s that time of year again! Our Facebooks and Instagram feeds are filling up with photos of newly-cut hair, carefully-chosen first-day-of-school-outfits, smiling shiny faces and brand-new backpacks full of new sharpened pencils. For a lot of us, this means school drop-off and pick-up, and bringing our babies along to cozy coffee-shop playdates. Falling back into a fresh, more predictable routine after the adventures of summer vacation is something I look forward to.
So here are some of my first #LeakyLooks picks for this week. Outfits designed to not take much brain space, #boobfriendly for easy pumping and breastfeeding access, and easy to put together!
For more looks like these and where to find them, check out our latest #LeakyLooks on the TLB Website or on Instagram!

Oatmeal Stout Crockpot Coffee Cake
by Carrie Saum
Ingredients:
- 3 cups oat flour (You can make your own using old fashioned oats and your food processor or blender, which is the easiest and cheapest, IMO.)
- 1.5 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 cup coconut palm sugar
- 2 Tbsp tapioca flour or arrow root powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1.5 cups stout beer (like Guiness)
- 1/3 cup oil or melted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp honey (optional)
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients.
- In a smaller bowl, combine all wet ingredients and blend thoroughly.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until it begins to thicken.
- Pour batter into very well-greased or parchment paper lined crockpot. (I recommend parchment paper if you have a dark-colored crock.)
- Place kitchen towel over the top of the crockpot, and pull tight and flat. Secure towel with the lid. (This will keep moisture from gathering and dripping onto your cake!)
- Cook on low for 3.5 hours.
- Once you can stick a knife into the cake and it comes out clean, it’s done! Remove pot from heat source, and allow to cool for 30 minutes before eating.

Leaky Chronicles: Real Stories For Real Life

Black Breastfeeding Week and Brittany’s Story
"...Well when people learned that I was going to be breastfeeding, people expressed a wide range of emotions. Some were visibly angry with me for not choosing to formula feed my child. “How am I supposed to bond with your baby?” was a common question. My favorite reaction of all was “Who told you to do that? That’s a white people thing.” Really? Why would someone even say that to me? I really am glad I was determined to breastfeed because there was little outside support in the beginning." READ MORE

Working While Toddling {A Parenting Fail}
I’m going to attempt something really ridiculous. Ready?
I will blog while my toddler is awake.
(I’m trying to get a head start at this while he is asleep, FYI.)
As every Work-From-Home-Parent [WFHM] knows, nap time is GOLDEN. All of the emails and texts you’ve been half-assedly (totally a word) responding to between buttering toast, playing dress up, unsnapping stuck legos, refilling water, putting toys back together, being a human racetrack and jungle gym? They get finished. You get to do the real work, too. Like feed yourself. Maybe take a shower. Type an entire sentence without your two year-old turning off your computer in one stealth move.
It’s like two hours of industrious, work-like-a-maniac Heaven. READ MORE
