Formula Feeding
Formula products I will happily use if I have to supplement with my next baby!
I was an under supplier with my first baby, and I really wish that I knew about this brand! My new niece uses this, and I don't think I've ever seen her spit up. It's super easy on the tummy, but they also have a gentle version of this in a purple ca...

Self Care for Mama
We want a healthy baby AND a healthy mama! 🫶🏻
