Why the Blog?
Because I’ve only become an “expert” on each stage of parenting after my child has passed through it…
Because I’ve forgotten everything that was brilliantly helpful with #1 by the time #2 has come along…
Because that’s also likely to happen between #2 and #3, yadda, yadda…
Because I can never know enough when it comes to being a parent… and god help me if I think I know what I’m doing…
Because all this hard won experience and knowledge has to help someone else besides just me. I hope.
Why the Name?
In case you don’t know Spanish, or you’re incredibly thick, it means “mother milk.” I like the ring of it. I think the name embodies just about everything I’d like to be as a mother – nurturing, life giving, wise.
Who is Mamá Leche?
Bright mother of two. #1 born late 2006, girl. #2 born mid 2008, boy. Possibly one more to come. Taking it a day at a time.

Mama Leche
I would like to thank you for the comments on My Little Gym versus Gymboree. I just signed up my 4-month old to My Little Gym, he starts in two weeks, and was wondering about Gymboree. I found your commet very helpful. Regarding your name, Mama Leche, Spanish is my first language and the way is written it means Milk Sucker. Mama is from de verb mamar (to suck). For it to read “mother milk,” “mama” would need an accent in the last “a” Hope you find my comment helpful
Hey Yaimy,
Again, thanks so much for the heads up on the accent! See – I’m learning new things ALL the time!
Thanks!
