Do yourself a favor and grab a box of these for when you get home from the hospital. These are so much more comfortable and stretchy than what the hospitals give you. They also look way better under your clothes than the hospitals give ones. I would ...

Breastfeeding Must Haves
If you plan to breastfeed, you simply must have these! I had mastitis twice and I can promise you, you don’t want that if you can prevent it. Once I started taking these, I never got it again. You just take 1 a day and it’ll do the trick. No side eff...

I bought this monitor for my second baby and wish I would have bought it for my first! It is seriously worth every penny. I can sleep peacefully every night knowing that if anything were to happen, this monitor would wake me up. It monitors their bre...
