My baby girl is 10th months old, and I was able to breastfeed her thanks to your article (The Breastfeeding Mom’s Guide To Latch)

I have inverted nipples and I couldn’t breastfeed her until she was 2 months old and when I finally did it, it was the most beautiful achievement in my life.

I am so proud of me and her, and I am also thankful for my milk and my body! I stopped producing milk 2 days ago… So, it is the end. The whole experience means a lot for me. I miss those moments… and if I was able to accomplish it it was thanks to your guide.

Thank you very much! You helped us!

Rachel's 11 ways to make mornings easier

I’ve asked around, and the #1 thing most moms seem to want help with is making their mornings easier and I can relate! So many articles and posts out there will tell moms to wake up a “few” minutes earlier so they can get done more in the morning… REALLY?! We get so little sleep as it is! What mom can sacrifice ANY sleep? I can’t!

Is there anything you can do to help your kids avoid needing glasses? Could screen time be hurting your kids’ eyes and causing digital eye strain? I ask myself these questions ALL the time! .
I've partnered with the Global Myopia Awareness Coalition (GMAC) to share the importance of asking your eye doctor about new treatment options for myopia, so head over to my latest blog post and stories (link in bio and stories) to learn more about eye health, how you can get more information, and about GMAC’s challenge to go on a Vision Mission and join the fun! #visionmission

Have you heard of TRANSFORMERS BotBots? #ad
.
If you’re not familiar with BotBots from @transformersofficial, I bet your kids are! They are these tiny TRANSFORMERS robots that hide in plain site as everyday objects that convert into mischievous robots! .
They are grouped in “tribes” that you can think of as categories of everyday objects! We have a few tribes, but my kids especially love the Playroom Posse tribe seen in these photos! Swipe right to see the fun we had with them!
.
My boys love to convert the bots into their bot forms and have them act out silly things like tipping a tower over or hiding under blocks!
.
These tiny toys are so much fun to play with and perfect gifts for the holidays! Many of the tribes will even fit in stockings!
.
Head over to my stories to see more of the fun play out and for a link to learn more!

Do you know what a wegift is? #AD .
74% of Americans have admitted to gifting a wegift before. A wegift is a gift that someone gives that they will also benefit from, and... and Keurig machines are an amazing wegift to give and receive! .
Think about it - As moms, we are all pretty obsessed with coffee. With a @Keurig, I can enjoy a cup of coffee, my husband can have a cup of Chai Latte and my boys can make cups of hot chocolate or hot cider! Keurig is SO versatile It’s the best wegift for the whole family to enjoy! .
With the new Keurig K-Duo Plus, you can ALSO use it to make a full carafe of coffee if you’ve had an especially long night or have friends over! You get the best of the Keurig K-Cup pods AND can also use your favorite ground coffee to make a full pot!
.
Since I’m a huge fan of Keurig machines, I’ve already gifted a Keurig on multiple occasions over the years AND I now have two Keurig machines in my house! When Keurig sent me the new K-Duo Plus to try out, I decided to put it upstairs on my makeup counter! Now I can wake up to the smell of coffee, enjoy my coffee while getting ready in the morning, and actually get to drink it HOT! ha! (You know what I mean!) .
If you're still looking for gifts for your loved ones, this is a great option for the whole family to enjoy!
.
So is today a POD or a whole POT kind of day?
