Update: Nicole Richie and Joel Madden spotted at The Pump Station
Nicole is definitely nursing. She’s not sure how longshe plans to do it, but she feels strongly that for now, at least, shewants to do everything to keep Harlow as healthy as possible. Joel toldme that breastfeeding is a lot more complicated thanNicole thought it would be, so that’s probably why they had to stock upon so many supplies!
They are all doing great, and Nicole hasalready lost a lot of her baby weight. (I think you posted thosepictures of the two of them at Benny Medina’s party.)
I’m sure someridiculous rumors are going to start surfacing soon that she’s got aneating disorder, but this is further proof that Nicole is naturallyvery thin, and combined with breastfeeding, her body just seems to wantto drift back to the way it was! She’s eating healthy, and not eventrying to lose weight. The only thing they care about now is Harlow.And trying to sleep every once in a while.

I was just at The Pump Station in Santa Monica, CA, a nursing supplies store, and saw Joel Madden and Nicole Richie. They didn’t have Harlow with them, but Nicole looks so amazing! She bought lots of breastfeeding stuff. However, they both looked very tired!

Sounds like Nicole is breastfeeding! Yay Nicole!!!!! That said, I wonder who Harlow was with, and why she wasn’t with them (I’m sure there was a perfectly good reason. I am just way too curious for my own good! LOL!).

I’m sure nicole looks amazing, she was all belly and skinny everywhere else.

My guess? A family member probably watched her. Paparazzi would be all over Harlow and her parents probably aren’t having that yet.

Any ideas when we will see a pic of Harlow.
i feel like such a loser for being so anxious about it but i can’t wait.

Great to hear she’s breastfeeding; Hope mum and bub are doing well and are happy and healthy

So wonderful to hear she is breastfeeding although I had to wonder when I read that she was buying “breastfeeding stuff”. From memory, breastfeeding involved a chair, a baby and a breast. I’m not sure how much “stuff” you actually need! I guess it depends on how much you have to spend.
Sarah’s note: They sell stuff like pumps, storage bags, nursing bras, nursing pads, lansinoh, etc.

perhaps she even bought a nursing pillow. or nursing tea. or a nursing cover. or….
there are things you can buy like that, even when breastfeeding. sure, the basics are a baby and a breast, but there are products if you want/need them..

A family member probably watched Harlow or….the baby nurse did…without a doubt they have one, why not right?
By the way, there is a lot of nursing stuff to get….nursing bras, breast pump, nursing pads, nursing creams, nursing pillow, soothies, nipple shields, etc….
I can’t wait to see a picture of Harlow either but if I were them, I would wait a while too before taking her out in public!
