Top 6 Breastfeeding Essentials from a Mom of 4
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 - my key to a successful breastfeeding journey
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. I’ve experienced low supply, exclusive formula feeding, long-term breastfeeding, and pumping through a NICU stay. Because of that, I’m very realistic about what a pump can — and can’t — do. I’ve now used the Elvie Stride (and later the Elvie Stride 2) across very different seasons of motherhood, and this is my honest experience. This

Owlet Smart Sock Review: Why I Still Use It With Baby #4
I’m a mom of four kids — ages 8, 6, 3, and a newborn — and if there’s one baby product I hesitated to buy the first time, (in fact, I didn't buy it with baby number 1) but continue to use now with baby #4, it’s the Owlet Smart Sock. I purchased the Owlet Smart Sock in 2019, when baby number 2 came along, and have been a faithful user with babies 2, 3 and now 4. This review isn’t sponsored. I’ve used the Owlet across multiple babies, different stages of anxiety, sleep deprivat
