It’s been a rough couple of months. I’m on cycle 3/4 (we didn’t really give it our all on the first) and in the meantime 3 best friends of mine have accidentally become pregnant. This round I randomly took an OPK and it was a blazing positive one week before I should ovulate and my husband was on a business trip. We BD on the last day of positives so hoping it worked but am not optimistic 🙈 why is everyone pregnant that didn’t try?!!!?

It also holds him so much better and doesn't hurt my back or shoulders at all. I also bought their "active" version so he doesn't sweat as much in it. There are 6 positions you can put them in too.

Can't believe he's already a month old ?

Fussy and cries when he breast feeds

I'm EBF my 1 month old and have had no issues until yesterday. During the day when I breastfeed him, he gets so fussy, starts crying and eventually pulls off. But he continues to lick his lips and look for my nipple because he's still hungry. Then he starts feeding, calms down, takes a couple of gulps then starts getting fussy again. I think my milk might be coming out too quickly that it aggravates him (sometimes he ends up coughing and looking like he's g...

This stuff is amazing. I've been using it since giving birth (currently 4 days pp) and I love it!!! Can't recommend it enough. And the bottle is made to be sprayed upside down or right side up, so it's super easy and convenient to use.
