Between feedings, doctor appointments, and perhaps juggling more than one child, new mothers rarely have time or energy, for that matter—to even bother putting up with a gigantic double stroller. And yet somehow, I still purchased one with much regret. I used it less than a year after having my second. It was so much…

Every new mom hopes breastfeeding will be easy and automatic. But what if it isn’t? We live in a society that talks openly about the best strollers, car seats, daycares etc. but because women are ‘supposed’ to be exclusively breastfeeding, formula remains a taboo subject.
