Happy Thursday! In today’s episode, we dive into baby feeding – breast, bottle, combo – all of it. We’re answering all YOUR questions—my personal breastfeeding journey, the mental struggles of breastfeeding, and what we’ve learned about formulas in the US vs. Europe. This is probably my #1 asked topic on social (and honestly, what’s on my mind most of the time), so I’m excited we sat down and shared our experience / what we’ve learned.
BUT ALSO, we share a funny (and sleep-deprived) mistake we made (think: Dude, where’s my car?), the Valentine’s Day present gone wrong (gift saga part 2983479), and apparently, Harrison got held up at gunpoint one time??
As always, we love sharing our parenting journey with you, so we hope this episode gives you laughs and some helpful insights (disclaimer: our research is ChatGPT heavy and this isn’t “Two Doctors & a Pod” so please don’t take this as ADVICE). And - one last thing - we’re still LEARNING.. appreciate any and all thoughts, formula recs, and resources in the comments!!!!
We LOVE YOU GUYS!!
