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.

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.

If you know, you know. If you’re a sports parent of multiple kids, different ages, you might have a younger child that goes completely feral when all you would love to do is sit and watch the game, practice, meet, match, etc. They always find the dirt, the biggest stick, the one lone puddle, get their foot stuck in the fence, find a cat turd they find fascinating… the possibilities are endless.
These are all items that I have found to be useful and helpful in keeping just a little bit of my sanity intact.
