After breastfeeding for five years, these are the products and tips that truly worked for me and my little one. My breastfeeding journey wasn’t easy at the beginning I really almost gave up. My daughter was born premature and wouldn’t latch at first, so I pumped for the first month while continuing to try. Finally, she latched, and from that moment on we never looked back. I’m so glad I didn’t give up. She breastfed for five years, rarely got sick, and is incredibly smart! These are the must-haves that helped me along the way.

Our daughter and nieces and nephews are older now, 21 of course :) so it was fun to try and celebrate with them but we also know they'll be out testing the water with friends and later after the birthday, they'll slowly go out if they aren't already. With these gifts, it wasn't only ‘fun props’ that I wanted to give but other items for them to be safe during these times, some for comfort and some for play. All these are good for any age and for anyone with older goods, good luck! Happy 21st 😍
