So everything I learned in the first couple of days post-pregnancy was on the go. Family, friends, lactation consultants, pediatricians and, of course, Dr. Google, were my go-to sources for all things questionable and worrisome. For the most part, all the advice was incredibly helpful, especially that which was given by my parents and in-laws. I mean, come on, they raised my husband and me, WELL 👍🏻😉 (not that I have a bias or anything). However, at times they would suggest things that I was sure I […]

Third Time Around—and Still Learning This is my third time going through the newborn phase. You’d think by now I’d be a pro. And in many ways, my past experiences did ease a lot of the anxiety that comes with those first few weeks. But even with that, I underestimated how tough this stage can still be!   After all, it’s been five years since I last did this—and wow, did I forget a lot of the nitty-gritty details that come with postpartum and caring for a […]
