The power of multitasking

On taking the pressure off

“I see a lot of [mommy influencers and people who] talk about how often you should be feeding your baby, how often you should be pumping. It can just feel so overwhelming and [lead you to] put so much unnecessary pressure on yourself. My takeaway is that whatever your feeding journey looks like right now… whatever works for you, is the best plan for your family.”
