Breastfeeding Essentials I Actually Used (After Four Babies) Breastfeeding has looked different for me with every baby. I’ve experienced cracked, bleeding nipples, supply challenges, colic, NICU pumping, and finally a smoother start with baby #4.

Elvie Stride vs. Elvie Stride 2: An Honest Review After Four Babies Breastfeeding has looked very different for me with each of my four babies.
