My number one, most important piece of advice: you know your baby and your body better than anyone. Do whatever is right for you. If that means not breastfeeding, that is ok! Lots of people will try to throw their opinions at you, but trust your gut and do what works best for you and your baby.
Becoming a Mom is so wonderful yet completely overwhelming at the same time. Working with babies for years made me think that it would be so easy! I was so much more worried about birth than what would happen afterwards, and didn’t really understand how much having a baby would rock our world. Here are some tips on what helped me during this time, and what I wish I knew before becoming a mom.
After two kids, I feel pretty confident in recommending our favorite products to hopefully help you with your baby registry. Luckily for me, I work with new parents and got tons of great advice and suggestions from my clients during my pregnancy, and I’m happy to pass it on to you 🙂
