If you are expecting a new addition to the family soon, please do yourself a favor and put this item in your baby shower registry! It is a miracle worker and your ni***es will thank you!

Chapped and cracked ni***es are a common issue when you are breastfeeding or pumping. There are a few things you can do to prevent it and also treat it once it happens. This super star does both.

The star of the show in the product is it’s sterilized medical grade, Manuka Honey. Because of the sterilization this is completely safe for your baby and does not need to be wiped off of the ni**le prior to chest feeding.

If your local in the PNW, there are a few places you can buy this in store and please feel free to reach out if you’d like to know where. This is not an ad I just really believe and stand behind this product.

“What breast pump is right for me?”

This is a complicated question but there’s ways we can find the answer. What those ways are not is “well my friend has this one” or “my mom used this brand and says it’s the best.” Etc.

Having the right breast pump for you is most likely going to play a big part in your feeding journey if you plan to feed from the chest. So here’s a few questions to ask yourself and the same questions I’d go over with you as your doula

• What does life look like after baby comes? Are you going back to work? Are you going to be a SAHM?

• Have you pumped before? Was that a successful and pleasant experience for you?

• Do you need something portable or are you okay with having to be plugged into the wall?

Depending on the answers to these questions we can usually always find a pump that’s going to work for you. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the options out there right now I know great local resources and am happy to help in anyway I can.

Happy Monday Lovelies! Here is your reminder that your pregnancy will not look the same as your mom’s, your friend’s, your sister’s or anyone else’s. It will be your own sacred experience that will be completely your own. You’re birthing experience is the same, we all come from different experiences and different biases. No one has lived the same life as you and this part of your journey is no different. The difference is you will have many very well intentioned people trying to give you advice, and warnings, and sharing their own experiences. Not realizing how those can effect you on your journey.

So take a moment next time you catch yourself comparing your journey to someone else’s, and remind yourself that every journey is unique and every journey has the potential to be beautiful and magical.
