BREASTFEEDING QUESTION & ANSWER
BACKGROUND INFO

First of all, since I had Sophia nursing has been one of the hot topics and I’ve been very open over on my IG stories about this ‘journey’ [lol]. It has been VERY challenging for me. I’ve said it before and I will say it again but I am so not a milk machine and I have accepted that. It is crazy because growing up I saw others nursing babies so easily and never heard that it could be hard so I was in a lonely place after I had Luke.

Baby Registries… just the idea of them stresses me out. ? Especially for those who are expecting their first baby and really don’t know what is necessary or what is just ‘fluff’, ya know?!

I wrote a baby must-have post last summer once Luke was 14 months old and I felt like that was the best time to really cover what the tried and true ‘must-haves’ were for a baby’s first year!
