Why I Suggest All Breastfeeding Moms Use a HAAKKAA
If you’re about to have a baby or just had a baby and nursing, then I strongly urge you use a HAAKAA milk catcher when you’re nursing. The HAAKKAA is made for breastfeeding and pumping moms. I’ve used it with my last three babies and WOW it has really been a major perk while postpartum and wanting to start a milk supply but not wanting to pump. It is perfect for those who have baby latched to one side, and are experiencing a let down on the other side.

MUST HAVE MATERNITY ITEM: Body Con Dress
This post is in partner with Ingrid and Isabel. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. I feel like I say this every week, but wow another week has already flown by! I guess this back-to-school-it’s-almost-fall-and-time-to-have-a-baby season can’t last forever. This really has been the best pregnancy so far, it’s been the least crazy and easiest on me personally (I can’t vouch for the rest of the fam, haha). I hate that it’s almost over! For all the women that are currently pregnant or had a baby, I want you to be gentle with yourselves. It’s a magical thing to grow another…

Ingrid and Isabel Maternity – Fall Style
This post is in partner with Ingrid and Isabel. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please visit my disclaimer page for more information. (Note: I wrote this last week before the stomach bug entered our house) We are have way through the week and man, it feels like this week is extra long for some reason.
