Ep 04: Mixing Love, Embracing Formula, Pumping and Finding Joy in Bottle Feeding
Today, I'm joined by Kristin, who shares her experiences as a mother of two, discussing the trials she faced in breastfeeding, sleep training, and the eventual decision to switch to bottle feeding to find what works best for both herself and her baby. As you'll learn in this episode, parenting is not a one-size-fits-all journey.
Through Kristin's journey, you'll learn about the significance of living in the present moment, the gap between expectations and reality, and the importance of trusting your own intuition as a parent. We also talk about the struggles she faced with pumping and how she finally found a sweet spot between bottle feeding and pumping.
